>Ori's original document was good about supporting earlier versions of Linux, going all the way back to the 2.0 days.
	I had originally intended to keep with the program, but after thinking about it, opted out.  My main reason to keep with the
	compatibility was for GNU/Linux distributions like LEAF, which tended to use older kernels.  However, even LEAF uses 2.2 and
	2.4 kernels these days.</P

>Both Ori and I use the x86 platform.  For the most part, the source code and discussions should apply to other
	architectures, but I can't promise anything.  One exception is <A

>Chapter 12</A
>, Interrupt
	Handlers, which should not work on any architecture except for x86.</P
