We use woody at school with a 2.4.18 kernel without the slightest probs. I use it also at home. I don't think that there is any reson to _not_ take the 2.4 as default. Its very stable and MUCH better than 2.2. I also think that woody should use ext3 defaultly. Shipping a distro today with a standard 2.2 kernel is not smart. Because 95% need to update because they want XFree 4 working probbably with their nvidia cards. Iptables woud be missing and so on. cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry. Try Linux!
