[Debian] Re: [ben@decadent.org.uk: Re: Kernel version for Lenny 5.1?]

Good to know, looks like it coincides with RHEL6 kernel which is going 
to be 2.6.31 or .32 too. That will be ideal if both Debian and RHEL will 
be based on the same version -- not only for us but also for Debian, 
since it could use RHEL6 as a "donor" for patches.
