Not all do - the 770 uses 2.6.12. I know some very small systems still use 2.4 due to kernel size (though that is changing with all the nice embedded options in 2.6), 'interesting' hardware support or just pure inertia (once you've built a platform, stick with it for as long as you can - especially if you have a bunch of custom patches). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ "We are not complete muppets." - Murray Cumming -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
