If you have yet to upgrade, you might as well go to 7.21!

Hi John,

You can use 720_REL as well as 721_REL kernels because these kernel are known as DCK(Downward Compatible Kernels).

But keep valid backup before changing release of kernel.

Hi John

as stated by Andrea, yes it can but you just need to check the OS limitations

like linux suse 10 you cannot use 720 EXT
