>This document is mainly geared toward Linux 2.4. It covers
|
|
secondarily earlier Linux. It covers newer Linux only partially, but
|
|
the author's goal to cover it completely in a future release. See
|
|
in particular <A
|
|
HREF="linuxversions.html"
|
|
>Section 12</A
|
|
>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
subject changed quite a bit over the course of Linux 2.5 releases, and
|
|
this document ignores 2.5, since the 2.5 releases were not considered
|
|
production releases. Instead, the document treats all the changes in
|
|
2.5 releases as if they were new with Linux 2.6.</P
