Kernel 2.2 - It Lives!

Posted by michael on from the if-it-ain't-broke dept.

Build6 writes "For those of us still using 2.2 (how's that for "conservatism" eh?) -- 2.2.24 is out (and has been since last week) - see kernel.org for downloads. I see networking code tweaks, but no changelog. Time to give our old RH 6.2 machines one last kernel-recompile before Red Hat's end-of-life date arrives for 6.2? :-) What I'd like to know is - who else (besides me) out there still has machines running 2.2 and intends to keep it that way?"

    I have two 486 DX4's running 2.2.20. They work fine like they are. Updating from 2.2.x to 2.4.x would be a pain the butt. I'll leave them as is until they die of old age.
