There is no difference between even and odd numbered kernels. The
latest stable kernel at the moment is 2.6.21.5
If you want to use 2.6.20 for some reason, then the latest is 2.6.20.14


Well, there is a difference between even and odd kernel version, but
this only applies to the second number 6. Before there was 2.2
(stable), 2.3 (unstable), 2.4 (stable), 2.5 (unstable), 2.6 (stable).
The numbers .20, .21 etc. do not follow this rule.
