3.98.1 is the current version that is used in debian stable [aka squeeze or 
6.0.4]. So in the hope of getting a more uptodate version i've emailed the 
backports mailing list to request a backport of 4.6.21 which is in use in 
'testing' debian [aka wheezy]. So now I'm just waiting to hear if my request 
is granted, and someone starts work on it. 

I'll try and sort out the categories later on, when I don’t feel so tired. 

Thanks again
Sharon.
