Well Liran, I've been using the development kernels since 2.1.88 (which has been the most stable so far) and I am currently using 2.1.101. This kernel has been working quite well as of yet and I currently have a 6 day uptime. I have also spoken with a few people running 2.1.103 who say they have had no problems either. The only problem I see with going with 103 is that I have seen quite a few more posts to the linux-kernel mailing list about problems with 2.1.103 than with 2.1.101. I would highly suggest subscribing to this mailing list if you are thinking about upgrading to a development kernel. Keep in mind though, it is a high traffic list. So if you don't feel like getting a lot of mail, don't subscribe. To sum it all up, 2.1.101 is a little more stable than 2.1.103 and there shouldn't be much in the way of noticeable differences between to two, so go with one of the two, the choice is yours. To subscribe to the linux-kernel mailing list: 1. Send an e-mail with "subscribe linux-kernel" in the body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. You will recieve an e-mail with instructions on how to reply in order to finish the subscription. 3. Your done! I hope this helps. .- Brian Weiss -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
