I have no experience on that -- but I think it's likely to work, i.e. no nasty kernel dependencies. Others on the list may have other opinions. > > attributable to the kernel.

There's a significant bugfix between 4.0 and 4.1; be sure you install 4.1.x. Since yours is a commercial company, possibly Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the way to go (or a different distro). > Thanks. Now if only Netware NFS could be little more stable... :) We've had excellent reliability over about 1.5 years with the Linux kernel NFS server (kernel 2.4.20, 2.4.21, 2.6.4, 2.6.5). The only oddity is that the NFS client now tries TCP transport first (good) and complains to syslog if the server declines TCP (annoying, ignore it or upgrade the server to kernel 2.6.x). James F.
