Oh gawd i'm getting bad in my linux fanaticism (spellcheck).

spongy at pete:~$ uname -a
Linux pete 2.5.0 #1 Fri Nov 23 23:58:45 EST 2001 i686 unknown

Seems to be running alright, I think, I haven't seen any major errors as yet.
Altho it was reported on Slashdot, and on kernel.org that 2.5.0 = 2.4.15 so 
who knows heh. might just be stable.
