This doesn't have to coincide with the kernel version you're currently running, and is updated much less frequently than the kernel simply because there is no reason to do so. Note that if you update your os-headers package, you should recompile glibc to take advantage of the update. ------=_Part_14622_10790128.1128557106478 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline

This is just a diff= erence that I noticed while running the 'emerge
- --info' command. =  My kernel is 2.6.12-gentoo-r9, but emerge --info
reports the os-he= aders as=20 2.6.11-r2.  I was able to trace the
os-headers info back to th= e sys-kernel/linux-headers package, which it
seems the most recent is 2.= 6.11-r2.  Why the difference?  Does it matter?

The os-headers package is j= ust a set of headers in /usr/include/linux/ that glibc compiles against. Th= is doesn't have to coincide with the kernel version you're currently runnin= g, and is updated much less frequently than the kernel simply because there= is no reason to do so.=20
