I did not have any problems with 2.4.5 , but did not use for long. Also
moved to 2.4.6 today. Time will tell.
Anyway, 2.4.3 is realy bas VM wise.

Alon,
If you are using a 2.4 kernel prior to 2.4.5 then you are a victim of its

Hi,
Once in a while, typically in high-load situations, my linux PC gets into
a state where it constantly thrashes the HD (probably swapping) and no user
application runs properly. All local interaction hangs. ping from remote
works just fine, but other TCP services accept the connection but do
and memory useage, and you will find what process goes out of hand
when it happens next time.
