Just to offer another data point, we've had great luck with SMP Linux
2.2.x and the DAC 960 controller (a Mylex AcceleRAID 352).
Debian Potato Linux 2.2.17 SMP, up 134 days.
MySQL 3.23.32 up 39 days, Queries/second avg: 753.
It's a dual 933 PIII w/2gb ram. No table corruption. We don't even
use precompiled binaries ;)
Obviously one person's good experience doesn't mean there's not a
problem somewhere, but we sure haven't had any trouble, and it's not
for lack of hammering on it.
