“Linux 2.2.16 is the latest update to the Linux kernel tree. The
out of the box tree supports the Alpha, PPC, S/390, Sparc and X86
platforms. MIPS is mostly merged but you should obtain the platform
specific tree. ARM and M680x0 users should get their platform
specific tree….”
“Linux 2.2.16 changes a few internal system structures. You may
need to rebuild a few third party modules such as pcmcia-cs when
upgrading from older kernels to this one.”
“Linux 2.2.16 is primarily a security release. It includes
fixes for both local and network related bugs. Upgrading is
strongly recommended.“
