That is completely untrue, and also missleading to the whole community reading this thread. It is a sad fact that for example, RedHat kernels have a zillion of badly tested or even not that patches, which Linus and the Linux kernel development team would never insert in the kernel just like that. Not only that they are not *stable*, they are less stable than any pre kernel. So, on contrare, some of the 2.4.x-pre?-ac? kernels I've installed are the most stable kernels Linux ever had, mainly since the -ac codebase patches include the FreeBSD like VM. Actually, TAU mail services are running on two machines using 2.4.18-pre3-ac2, being very very stable for quite a long time. And I have asked this question *BECAUSE* I have a problem with an appliance using RedHat 7.2, and with the Linux kernel supplied by RedCrack. --Ariel > -- > Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org/ > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sctrace strace /bin/foo http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ > Quis custodes ipsos custodiet? > -- Ariel Biener e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP(6.5.8) public key http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
