Not S/390 Slackware. That's not been released yet. Sigh. I am actually
working on some of the installation scripts, but it's a little slow going

I find that you can generally upgrade your kernel

and use it on your otherwise 2.4.lower based system.

I am going to guess that Oracle has theoretical and practical database size

The only way I know of without tweaking kernel source is to put "pressure"
