For example in kernel version number 2.4.18
2 is the VERSION
4 is the PATCHLEVEL and
18 is the SUBLEVEL.
I believe since kernel version 2, kernel development was arranged in a way
that even PATCHLEVELs are regarded as a "stable" branch and an uneven
PATCHLEVEL is a "development" branch that regular linux users should not
work with. It is only for kernel developers for working out a "better
kernel". So 2.5 is not for regular use.
Regards,
Axel
