[ILUG] kernel versions (use/not-use 2.2.18) (among other quickies)

[Dave Airlie]

kernelnotes.org is one of those sites that needs to be nuked with exterme
stuff.. it's out of date. .. www.kernel.org is the place to look for
latest version nos... finger @finger.kernel.org .. works for 2.4 .. hasn't
really been updated to show 2.2 stuff..
