1.4.2. Where to Get the Code
It seems odd now to remember that in the early days of the Linux network code development, the standard kernel required a huge patch kit to add the networking support to it. Today, network development occurs as part of the mainstream Linux kernel development process. The latest stable Linux kernels can be found on ftp.kernel.org in /pub/linux/kernel/v2.x/ , where x is an even number. The latest experimental Linux kernels can be found on ftp.kernel.org in /pub/linux/kernel/v2.y/ , where y is an odd number. There are Linux kernel source mirrors all over the world. It is now hard to imagine Linux without standard network support.
