FWIW, CentOS is basically following RedHat Enterprise Linux, building
distros based on the sources RedHat releases for their Enterprise Linux.
Thus CentOS 4 is RHEL 4, which is 2.6 based.
My CentOS 4.4 (RHEL4update4) is running a Linux 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL kernel.
Of course RedHat version numbers (and thus CentOS) don't really compare
to the actual software. All this means is they started with a 2.6.9
kernel and have heavily patched it (at least 42 releases of the package).
