Interesting that it's based on "kernel 2.4.21"... do they know something we don't?
Heh - no doubt that really means "2.4.20 + ptrace". But yeah, it does make you think of gcc 2.96, doesn't it?
Mandrake Linux 9.1 released

Well, except that 50 flavors of the kernel has been the norm for a long time... and 50 flavors of the kernel combined have less bugs than one gcc release. ;-)
2.4.21 in Mdk 9.1? Well, preX, w/ other patches, yes..

As a cooker tester and cooker list subscriber, I can say it's 2.4.21preX, of course with the latest security patch, and a number of other Mandrake customized patches, compared to Marcello's mainline kernel prepatches.
(That said, I personally don't run the Mdk kernel, but get the kernel.org sources and compile my own, so I can't say I follow more than the general overview of the cooker list kernel related threads, nor can I report how well their kernel works. I keep everything else regularly updated, however, generally twice a week or more often, using urpmi, their automated packaging tool.)
