I'm going to use 2.4 for the foreseeable future; but since it already does what I want, there seems little need to put much the development effort (other than a bit of maintenance) there. You'll be better off minimizing the amount of work you have to do: that means concentrating on only one kernel branch and keeping your patch vs. that branch as small as possible. To me, I guess that means you should use the Linux 2.6SE stuff. The userspace tools don't have to stay too compatible - I'm not afraid of twiddling a few scripts, as long as I can get the same functionality. I hope linux-vserver remains simpler and less confusing than full-blown Linux-SE, though, because that's one of the reasons I like the vserver stuff :) Have fun, Avery _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
