    2.4 is greater than 2.2.20 according to my math, which means it's better and more recent

    no, no, no...
    Linux is a next-generation operating system. The whole thing was planned out by The Creator before even the first line of code was committed to disk. We are in fact on a count down to Linux version 1. That will be the perfect version that will signal the end times . You see, linux started with, IIRC version 5. Each time The Creator completes one stage of the plan, we decrement the version number by one. We are at 2.2 now so as you can see, it wont be long until the end times .

    I'm kind of a newbie to Linux

    Welcome aboard brother.

    Why, I can remember my first experience with linux. I had a version 4.6.2 kernel running on a 386 with only 640K RAM. Ahh... those were the days!
