Ok.

Most definitely - I have four computers with slink and 2.2.x.

I find that it's enough to simply compile the kernel, and update the part
of the netbase package (specifically ifconfig, route, and a couple
others). Search http://freshmeat.net for net-tools, download, compile,
and install is all you need to do.

I would go with the latest - 2.2.13.
