I have 2.4.22 on all four of my machines -- on my Thinkpad T30 and old office Pentium 3/350 over the Speakup Modified Fedora Core 1.0, and on an old Pentium 2/200 and on a DEC Alphastation AS200 both running Debian Woody. I'm having no problems. I will say that the art of configuring a successful kernel compilation has become considerably more complex than it was a year or two ago. It has taken me multiple attempts to build a kernel that compiles and works properly. But, I don't blame the kernel for that. Complexity is the result of numerous features. It is the antithesis of simplicity for that very reason. Luke Davis writes: > From: Luke Davis > > Does anyone else hold this opinion (that 2.4.22 is crap)?
