Kernel updates released today for both FC2 and FC3 have a common version number: 2.6.10-1.770 and are distinguishable only by the tailing release designators _FC2 and _FC3. In past, there appeared a difference in kernel numbers as well. Does the move to commonality of version numbering have any practical or functional significance for users of the older release?
This question is in part prompted by the yesterday's message thread, "fc3 with kernel 2.6.10 stresses hard disk". 2.6.10_FC2 kernels have been available for some time and I have been running them so the thread prompted the question as to whether the "stresses hard disk" phenomenon applied to FC2 as well as FC3. (Release notes point out that Fedora Core 3 changes included "Kernel and e2fsprogs support for online growing of ext3 file systems.)
TIA to the gurus making the time to respond.
