what are the advantages of using linux 2.0 kernels? The series is still being updated -- Are the memory requirements really low? Is it easier to hack on than the later versions? Are there hard limits, such as disk size or number of processes or ports?

I remember configuration was much easier, not to mention compile time.

It might be possible to forgo all the modern featuers of the newer kernels for the tight binary of the 2.0.x days. Its still good to see the old series still maintained.

2.0.x were motorcycles. 2.6.x are like a fleet of Mac trucks.
