Users who do not wish to check code out of CVS.  People who are
willing to put in time testing code for us.

2.4.1 has beta2 in it, we have been maintaining this to produce beta3
and shortly beta4.  Alan and Linus have been sent these updates but as
I'm sure you know it takes time for patches to get into the kernel.

Was there a point to your post or were you just trying to irritate us?
