Does this imply that the stock kernel in LM 8.1 is the same old 2.4.0 kernel, and that RedHat did not dare to introduce the new 2.4.18 kernel? 2.4.18 from LM 8.2 worked wery well when highmem is not used, but with prices of the day 1 Gb is NOT very much. From the extended technical discussion

Use something like zebedee to tunnel your mail ports (in my case 25 for sending and 143 for imap) and feed that through httptunnel if you get firewall problems - that way if you use the tunnel, the mail IS to all intents coming from your home machine. Great for laptops that travel, but cannot
