[luau] Linksys and Red Hat (Not)

[Warren Togami]

The odd version kernel series is used for development, while the even
versions are "stable".  development kernels will often eat your data, so
if you dabble with the 2.5.x series make sure you don't have any
important data, and keep backups.  Otherwise the 2.5.x version is very
cool to try and see what new features are coming for 2.6.x.  The feature
freeze for 2.5.x is October 31st later this year, so it sounds like we
will have 2.6.x early 2003.
