Humm... Sorry... I wasn't refering to kernels from Debian
(and, to be honest, I don't use them), so I really don't know
(I only use stock kernels from Linus/Alan with a select set of
patches applied by hand like André Hedrick's and Reiser FS).
But thank you for your information. I guess that I'll have a
closer look to the ones distributed by Debian.

Indeed. Alan Cox even talks about 2.2.17pre having better
stability than 2.2.16.
