Re: any need to upgrade kernel
is that security hole that packet thing , shit i forget the name, it was in 2.0.35 then backed out of .36 because of compadiblity issues ?? please specify the hole..i use 2.0.36+securelinux. am testing 2.0.38+ow4 (http://www.openwall.com/linux/) as a replacement for 2.0.36+securelinux. i am very satisfied with the performance and stability and security of 2.0.36+securelinux (my kernel is about a year old). i expect 2.0.38+ow4 will give me similar satisfaction. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Mon, 1 Nov 1999, Joey Hess wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36.

[snip] For me personally, I have upgraded my personal machine to 2.2.x since the filesystem performance is much better, however I have left my server running 2.0.x as the upgrade caused network problems.

Re: any need to upgrade kernel
Where could I find a general discussion on what the problems are with some kernel version? Like 2.2.10, 2.2.12 or 2.2.13 ??? (I know that 2.2.11 is REALY BAD...)

Not really. If your installation is fine, stay with it. There have been some nasty bugs in the 2.2 series, so you're better off with a tried and tested kernel (2.0). Believe me, I was bitten badly by the 2.2.11 problem, and 2.2.12 was not 100% right either.

Re: any need to upgrade kernel
depends .. if your running SMP you may want to upgrade if you want access to NTFS drives you may want to upgrade if you use a TV card you may want to upgrade 2.2 provides some pretty good overall perforamnce boosters, but its clear to me its still not really stable yet..i'm holding off on 2.2 on my servers till at least 2.4 is out. my dual processor server is still running 2.0 even. 2.2.10 has prooved to be a great kernel for me. haven't seen any reports about adverse effects when using 2.2.13 as of yet .. if your not planning on upgrading/changing your hardware(to something that may only be supported in kernel 2.2/2.3/2.4) i'd suggest to stay with 2.0. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Wed, 27 Oct 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > > I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36.

Re: any need to upgrade kernel
Hi :) I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36. Is there any advantage to upgrading the kernel. If so, which kernel would be best? Or shall i just leave the kernel alone as things are working fine.. --- (Anyone reading this, please correct me...) Upgrading the Kernel depends on what you need... The newer kernels suppport newer hardware, and have new features. I've heard that if you want to upgrade, 2.2.10 is the best. I'm about to try it, because I'm having a few problems of my own w/ kernel 2.2.1. Upgrading also depends on how good you are @ following step by step instructions. There should be docs and everything with it... Seeing as I don't know how well you work with linux, I would say that if you try it, make yourself a rescue disk first!!
