From the CVS logs for ports/emulators/linux_base/Makefile:

        RELEASE_3_2_0: 1.25

	[...]

revision 1.26

linux_base is the reincarnation of linux_lib and obsoletes both linux_lib
and linux-base. Both will be removed from the ports collection at the
proper time.

linux_base uses a subset of packages from a Red Hat 5.2 release to populate
/compat/linux. There's no functional difference between linux-base and
linux_base. The name of the latter is preferred over the name of the former.

----------------------------

So 3.2-RELEASE went out with a RedHat 5.2 -derived Linuxulator. The one
we have now is still 5.2 -derived.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
