There haven't been any Red Hat releases with a 1.3.x or 2.1.x kernel. The Rawhide distribution may have used one, but that is specifically a whole distribution that is alpha/beta test stuff (aka "bleeding edge").
And SLS wasn't the first distribution - MCC was came before it. Don't forget H.J. Lu's boot and root disks (they had all you _really_ needed!). I remember being amazed at the single boot/root disk (way before compressed ramdisks and the like). It even had vi and color_ls!

There's always someone that's been around here longer, unless your name is Linux Torvalds! :-) -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Information Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
