OK, you see?
Debian matches all version numbers, superceeds most of them. Many bugfixes
later, ...
I don't know about procinfo and autofs, but I undserstand they are only tools?
Hey, I could compile a 2.1.x kernel out of the box! And I live with a *pure*
debian unstable system.
BTW: It is only called unstable, because it is not fully tested. But only
minor hassles occur most of the time if you live with unstable. Most bugs
get fixed in a few days after they are reckognized.
C'mon, get Debian now! Debian has everything you need to install 2.1.x
kernels, and a lot of more (over 1200 packages).
