Heh :) I don't know the 1.x kernels that well...only ever knew Linux from 
2.0.0 upwards. But that rings bells... :)

That, plus it always takes be bloody ages to set the system up to how *I* 
want it :) Lots of nuts and bolts to adjust. I never bother with packages in 
a dist if its a oft-used program...I'll always get the tar-ball and build 
from source. It all takes time :) Even an upgrade within distributions won't 
happen more than once a year, if ever.

In two years, a vendor's distribution can chanage a lot though...
