I guess you know what you're doing, but isn't 2.0 vulnerable to some
ancient "ping-of-death" type of attacks?  I think Linux < 2.0.32 was
vulnerable to teardrop and land attacks according to this page:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1997-28.html and I'm sure there must
have been more thought of since then.
