The latest release from the 2.1 (a very long and notable lineage) is 2.1.6 (identified by the kernel as 2.1.6.1 because of a last minute security fix that was needed). The next release will be 2.2-RELEASE, and probably not be quite as stable under loading as 2.1.6, but has more development time under it's belt and a LOT of bugs fixed, as well as a lot of performance improvements. Hope this helps, Gary
