My experience on my home workstation has been flawless. IMHO, I think
you should way a couple more revisions before using it for a mission
critical system. I would definately do some research on the stability
of the areas of the code you need: drivers, raid, smp, resierfs, etc.
I seem to recall reiserfs still has some bugs to work out.
Anyway, I think we would all agree that 2.2.x and ext2 are rock solid.
I personally would not feel comfortable running reiserfs on a mission
critical box yet, but I haven't done much research on the upcoming
kernels lately. So, do your research and decide for yourself if 2.4 is
ready for primetime. Cheers
