Yeah.  I understand stability, however, I think that the line between
stability and new software is being a bit crossed on this one.  It is
kind of interesting, because I was wondering whether or not he would
move to 2.6, and I wonder if the lack of UMSDOS has anything to do with
it.  I am sure that someone out there still finds ZipSlack useful? but
then again, I think that it would have been just fine if Slack used 2.6
by default and 2.4 as a fall back option.  Lack of 2.6 by default was
one of the reasons I stopped using Slackware, because 2.6 just has a lot
of damn cool features that make things in the userland happier, and (at
least on the machines I run on) have never encountered stability issues
that were attributable to the kernel; just hardware bugs/instabilities.
