Hmm, I'm building some so called "very important server".
I'm not sure if 2.4.x is stable enough.
It will run Apache, biiig PostgreSQL database, all on big RAID.
Anyone has experience with 2.4.x + SMP (2 x PIII) + Mylex AcceleRAID ?
After reading some newsgroups I believe 2.4.x kernels works pretty stable
or does totaly weird things, all depends of the hardware configuration.
Well, it seems some drivers are not yet stable enough...
