Well, just what they are: ports for Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7 and
Fedora 8.

Sure, some libraries changes did occure. At least minor versions
were. A more detailed information you may discover the differencies
looking at makefiles and pkg-plist files.

No, the default is 2.4.2 and a planned one (not default and not fully
supported, but in a good shape so far) is 2.6.16.
