kernel upgrade
In case anybody is interested I did a slackware-current update last night and the kernel is up to 2.4.30.
Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

2.4.30 is actually the latest version of the 2.4 kernel, so it is up to date
Also, 2.6.11.9 is the latest, sorry but now you are old school :P

Just a question: why the two kernels? I mean the 2.4 and the 2.6? Are they both being developed?

Im probably not the one to answer this but I think that they continue the 2.4 kernel for security patches and for stability, then throw the new stuff into the 2.6 one.

All the new stuff is in 2.6.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the 2.4 is more stable than the 2.6 kernel branch. However, the 2.6 kernel branch has a lot of new improvements that the 2.4 branch doesn't provide. In some time the 2.4 will get more and more obsolete, as it happend with the 2.2 kernel branch.serzsite.com.ar
