	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.
