2.2.x
\------ 2 is even -> stable
2.3.x
\------ 3 is odd -> unstable
so 2.2.13 and 2.2.14 are both stable since the second digit is the
important one.

Also note that above kernel versions have _nothing_ to do with the
debian versions.
Debian 2.1, codename slink, used kernel 2.0.36 IIRC
Debian 2.2, codename potato, uses a kernel of the 2.2.x series
Debian ???, codename woody, currently also has a 2.2.x kernel
(I might be wrong on this)
slink is currently considered outdate^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hstable,
potato is frozen and will become stable in a few weeks,
woody is unstable
