In my research about of “how Linux kernels are numbered” I found out that there are two ways for numbering the Linux kernel: Even numbered kernels such as versions v2.0, v2.2, v2.4 are stable kernels, because it has been fully tested after to introduce all feature and drivers. So this is considered a stable version while the other one odd numbered kernel such as versions v2.1, 2.3 and so forth, is considered unstable versions because those one are performed by developments without previous test. I think it has advantage mainly in novice users because now is easier to know what version is better when a user want to update a Linux operative system.
