With all due respect, the spelling of »utilize« is the least of its problems. I don't think anyone has actually used non-bzImage kernels for the last decade or so. Even kernels that are called »vmlinuz« are bzImage kernels nowadays, simply because today's kernels – at least for the mainstream distributions that LPI focuses on – tend to be way too big to be non-bzImage kernels. If people on this list get worked up about old-style network address classes, they should get *really* worked up about kernel binary format esoterica – at least the network address classes have a remnant of meaning in the Real World.
