In drakboot, you can setup the default pointing to 2.6.38 kernel...

A big difference is that kernel needs more test, but flash plugin can

still use 32-bits to work. It's in cauldron so we can do more test and

maybe report to upstream/make our own changes. You can't stop at 2.6.38

for long, the development of kernel would continue, and more testing

would do good to us and other user in other distro.
