I share sandalle's view that the 2.6 one should be modern so the
2.6 i686 NPTL
is essential to me.
A 2.4 i386 non-NPTL one can be usefull too but I don't really see the
need for the others.
Well, ok, I guess some ppl somehow still want a 2.4 even on their "new"
machine, beats me...

Just my 2 cents,

Mathieu.
