The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is:     2.4.15
The latest beta version of the Linux kernel is:       2.5.0
The latest prepatch (alpha) version *appears* to be:  2.4.15-pre9
The latest -ac patch to the stable Linux kernels is:  2.4.13-ac8
avon:~>

Yep, 2.5.0 is out!!! :)

Remember kids the 2.5 series comprises alpha & beta kernels.  They will
break.  They might even break badly.  They can be much fun to run :)

Don't run 2.5 kernels on production systems, but they can be great to
run on a home system or test system if you want to see the bleeding edge
of development and want the latest & greatest features before everyone
else :)
