>From the sounds of things, both on this list and in other Linux places I've looked, it would appear that "latest" probably is "greatest": 2.4.10 might be the way to fly. Otherwise, I might go with an -ac series kernel, as it sounds as if Alan has pretty much avoided playing with the VM stuff entirely, and has left most of the 2.2 VM code in place. Also, I think you want at least 2.4.7 if you want to be pretty bug-free in your Reiser implementation, and LVM likes at least 2.4.9. I'm sure there are other things of note, as well, but I generally remember the things in which I'm most interested... -Ken P.S. If you're even slightly interested in Win4Lin, though, I suggest you check out their patches page to see which kernels are supported. ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
