the venerable 2.0 kernel series

[Thomas Bruno]

2.0 lacks a very large number of posix traits.  It also has a lot of smp
issues. I came in around 2.1.33 so i missed the 2.0 days.
   Memory management is one area that sucked upuntil the release of 2.4

It still uses the 2.0.x series of kernels, so it's not up to date by any means.  For an old laptop or desktop it's not too bad though.  VNC is on one of the disks you can build.  That's how I found out about that fine tool ages ago.  Check it out.
