I noticed at the Mandrake website that Mandrake 9.1 claims to ship with
kernel 2.4.21.  The odd thing is that 2.4.21 hasn't been released as a
stable release yet.  Does anyone know what they are actually using?  Is
it Mandrake's policy to ship the latest prepatches instead of stable
versions?

Mandrake 9.1 actually comes with a heavily modified 2.4.21-pre5. They are of
the opinion that 2.4.20 misses some improvements/fixes that -pre5 does have,
so they based their kernel on -pre5.
