Linux operating system kernel versions

Hi!

Slackware 4.0 runs on 2.2.12 but it doesn't have glibc-2.1. Slackware
3.9 is a step back for 2.0 lovers it runs 2.0.36pre7 if I am not
mistaken. Who else out there works with Slackware + IPv6. I need help.
Where can I get some utilities and application that can run on
glibc-2.1.

Thanks.

bye,

Herm

The current stable Linux kernel is 2.2 (latest is 2.2.13) and has IPv6
support, 2.0.34 is really old. I haven't followed Slackware lately, but
I'm surprised if the current Slackware uses 2.0. Most distributions will
give you a kernel image with IPv6 disabled, so you will probably have to
compile the kernel yourself, and say yes to IPv6.

If you have more questions, please ask.
