The linuxulator (kernel) will only switch to 2.6 mode with 2.6.16, =20
with everything else it will stay in 2.4 mode. The linux =20
infrastructure (ports) may decide to do their own stuff based upon the =20
value of osversion. In the linux_base-fc6 this is the case for sure =20
(libc and so on). The port you use may do the same. You've been =20
warned...
