I don't think it would be helpful. Has anyone benefited from the AxonLinux adventure? Sure some people have got systems which have a 2.4 kernel and XFS, but they are way out of date, unsupported, and can't easily be upgraded. Nothing from that project has made its way back into the mainstream. Developing a HOWTO for a 2.4 kernel upgrade and ext3 file system migration wouldn't constitute a project fork, and would be a help to those wanting to investigate that territory. There's been a lot of noise here, but has anyone actually tried to upgrade an SME server to use the latest RedHat 2.4 kernel? > on the other, Mitel is interested in seeing these items accomplished > and on the foot, they are saying "Yes, go ahead, we think that would > be real nice, keen thing that, it's just that we don't really want to > contribute at this point, Isn't that what various other people are saying here?
