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 -- Cameron Moore
