No, not if you want your procps to work anyway.
If your TTY is pts/256 or above, you'll need procps-3.2.0 or above to see it and select it.
If you think "ps s" shouldn't be missing a few columns, procps-3.1.6 or above is needed.
If you want to view threads, procps-3.1.14 or above is needed.
If you want to run SE Linux, procps-3.1.15 or above is needed.
------------- partial list of improvements -------------- * ps fully supports thread display (H, -L, m, -m, and -T) * ps can display NSA SELinux security contexts * top can show CPU usage for IO-wait, IRQ, and softirq * can set $PS_FORMAT to choose your own default ps format * better width control ("ps -o pid,wchan:42,args") * width of ps PID column adjusts to your system * vmstat lets you choose units you like: 1000, 1024, 1000000... * top can sort by any column (old sort keys available too) * top can select a single user to display * top can be put in multi-window mode and/or color mode * vmstat has the -s option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems * vmstat has the -f option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems * watch doesn't eat the first blank line by mistake * vmstat uses a fast O(1) algorithm on 2.5.xx kernels * pmap command is SunOS-compatible * vmstat shows IO-wait time * pgrep and pkill can find the oldest matching process * sysctl handles the Linux 2.5.xx VLAN interfaces * ps has a new "-F" format (very nice, like DYNIX/ptx has) * ps with proper BSD process selection * better handling of very long uptimes
