Caveat I am not a sys admin..etc., but my experience has indicated a conflict with kernel 2.6 file system requirements compared to the 2.4 kernel,I could be way of base, but,esp, in a remote admin situation, until I understood all the ramifications of what a 2.6 kernel requires I would use the latest 2.4 kernel. It is said Debian will upgrade from one version to the next, but I don't, yet, see a smooth transition from 2.4 to 2.6, YMMV. -- Greg C.
