[mythtv-users] modules.conf vs modprobe.conf

[nate s]

What about the distros that can use either, such as gentoo?  Gentoo
uses modules.conf; is modprobe.conf not compatiable with a 2.4 kernel,
while modules.conf is with a 2.6?

The files look so similar that I doubt it would matter very much
either way.  If indeed both kernels would work with both, then I think
it is more of a distro-specific thing than a kernel-specific one. 
Also, do all other (single-kernel) distros follow this?
