May a third party add something?
In my case there are TWO things that make hamm/slink
somewhat out of date. I would like the 2.2 kernel for
a firewall system so as to use ipchains. I also think
I need the glibc2.1 lib for some third party apps
(seti@home for one). Otherwise, everything does work
fine.
