SuSE Linux 7.2 (which has been out for several months) allows you to trivially switch between the following kernel alternatives any time after installation: Standard kernel 2.4 (pentium optimized) Standard kernel 2.2 (pentium optimized) Kernel 2.4 built for i386 processors (use also for 486) Kernel 2.2 built for i386 processors (use also for 486) Kernel 2.2 build from vanilla linux sources Kernel 2.4 with SMP-support for non PAE processors Kernel 2.4 with SMP-support Kernel 2.2 with SMP-support It uses glibc 2.2.2. I've been using SuSE 7.2 with kernel 2.4.4 since mid-May and never had any problems. I find SuSE 7 in general far more comprehensive than Red Hat 7, which I have to use at work and which lacks a number of packages that I got very used to on my home machine, starting with everyday trivialities like xautolock and xearth. (By mere lines of source code, SuSE is around 60% larger than Windows 2000 if you install everything!) Markus -- Markus G.
