I guess you'll keep the major distro release up to date. These are
the kernel released by RH since 6.2 (not sure of the dates):
kernel-2.2.14-5.0 Mar 2000 - Red Hat 6.2
kernel-2.2.14-12 Apr 2000
kernel-2.2.16-3 Jun 2000
kernel-2.2.16-22 Sep 2000 - Red Hat 7
kernel-2.2.17-1 Feb 2001
kernel-2.4.2-2 Apr 2001 - Red Hat 7.1
kernel-2.4.3-12 Jun 2001
The kernel is a moving target. If you can deal with more than a distribution,
you can deal with 1 or 2 kernel updates per release, IMVHO.
You know, outdated info if useless info.
