The only reason to downgrade is if you have a newer computer that has hardware that is unsupported by DSL version 2.2b with linux kernel version 2.4.26

For example, SATA hard drives, newer LAN cards, etc will work better for DSL version 2.1b and linux kernel version 2.4.31

At least, this is my opinion.

Thanks, that is good to know.

I have had some problems get DSL, Puppy linux, and Ubuntu to work on my PIII machine.  

UBuntu stops at 83% and when it is decting the CD-ROM.  It gets stuck on the "Loading Module 'ide-disk' Linux ATA disk'...

Who knows...  I will try DSL 2.1 on that system and see if it can boot up to the CD.
