Unique abilities with Xprobe2 v0.2.2:
The ability to distinguish between the following groups of Linux Kernels:
2.4.0-2.4.3
2.4.4
2.4.5-2.4.18
2.4.19-2.4.28
2.6.0-2.6.7
2.6.8
2.6.9-2.6.10


First off: Good Job!

Second... how are you detecting the differences between these kernels? I ask because as you know many vendors backport huge patchsets to older kernels... any idea if this might screw up detection of the above kernels? (Sorry if this is answered somewhere else)
