: if kernel 1.2.13 work fine for you and meet your need, then there is no 
: point upgrading newer kernel..u upgrade kernel to find new hardware support 
:  and other things but if u are satisfy with what u got then, i 
: cant see any reason why u should..

Efficency is the best reason.  The kswap algorithm was incorporated in the 
1.3 series,and is therefore in 2.0.  Kswap significantly improves 
interactive performance, particularly on low memory system.  There is a patch
for 1.2.13 if u really want to avoid an upgrade.  The 1.3 series saw other
major improvemenst in Linux's speed and efficency.  2.0.0 is the way to go.
Cheers,
