Most everything works on my Slink system with 2.2.x.  I didn't upgrade
any packages.  If you want to run 2.2.x with Slink just install the
kernel and see if anything breaks.  The only problems I have seen so far
with 2.2.1 and 2.2.5 the "eject" button doesn't work properly with the
Workman program and in 2.2.5 I lost the program xosview.  If I'm wrong
about this I'm sure someone on the list will correct me.
