Kernel 2.4.10 'till 2.4.13 might have some VM problems, 2.4.11 should be avoided like the plague, and 2.4.14 won't compile without a 2 line patch for some stuff in the loop.c part. -- When someone tells you that Linux isn't user friendly, just tell 'em that it is, but that it is really picky in who his friends are.
