I'm using 2.1.88, installed originally from an official alpha redhat 5.0
cd (question from a related mail).  I'll check out the rpm list.  I'd
like to try a more recent kernel, but was having X freezing problems
(under about 2.1.92+, no other system changes), which someone suggested
was due to X 3.3.1 and should be fixed in 3.3.2.  Unfortunately I
haven't had time to upgrade yet.  Hm, I've digressed.  While I'm over
here, I might as well comment that I still haven't figured out all the
issues related to c++ not working either...
