You won't notice any difference, except possibly a difference in performance. And, of course, in addition to the other enhancements you mentioned if you use firewalling you get to use the much, much better iptables. And of course ext3 is bundled with the kernel. rc> Second question: is it possible to have a 2.2 kernel and a 2.4 rc> kernel installed on the same system and switch between the two by rc> means of LILO?

That is only if you enable the dev filesystem, which is still beta, not enabled by default, and probably not recommended. If you don't do that, and you stick with ext2 filesystems, you can jump back and forth without even noticing the difference. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
