Should I be worried that Tux is flightless?

It's probably good old 2.6.32. Still deployed in heaps of places even though it's getting close to 15 years old and has been EOL since 2016 for official support and 2020 for RHEL6 (and probably CentOS6 too)

Not if the kernel was built around the time of that geodeoss module from 2004.

It might have been 2.4 or maaybe 2.6 if they were on the bleeding edge (I somehow doubt it), but 2.6.32 came out five years later and I can't believe they would have recertified a new kernel for the fun of it.

I've never heard of that module but is it possible they're using an older module with a newer Linux version?

Or it could be 2.4 like you said!
