- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

It's probably good old 2.6.32. Still deployed in heaps of places even though it's getting close to 15 years old and has been EOL since 2016 for official support and 2020 for RHEL6 (and probably CentOS6 too)
Not if the kernel was built around the time of that
geodeoss
module from 2004.It might have been 2.4 or maaybe 2.6 if they were on the bleeding edge (I somehow doubt it), but 2.6.32 came out five years later and I can't believe they would have recertified a new kernel for the fun of it.
I've never heard of that module but is it possible they're using an older module with a newer Linux version?
Or it could be 2.4 like you said!
