Where's my Diet Coke? I intended to suggest that the 2.2 info be moved to one part of the document, clearly labelled linux 2.2 related. Once moved, it could be labelled with an topic specific staleness date. As in "Linux 2.2 information last updated 22 March 2002." Also, specific problem areas (as Chuck pointed out) could be labelled as out-of-date. > one of the problems (which perhaps i should have mentioned in my first > e-mail) is that i don't know of anyone who has the expertise to maintain > the 2.2 FAQ information. it appears somewhat outdated (for instance, it > recommends some extra patches, but have they been included in the latest > 2.2 kernels?). > > does anyone have a sense of how many people are still running NFS on 2.2 > kernels? I don't have a good sense for that. The only 2.2 kernels in my environment are embedded in devices such as tape drives. And we don't use our tape drives as either nfs clients or servers. I'll guess the number is decreasing both absolutely (as people upgrade Linux) and relatively (as new users install more current releases of Linux). -- Quentin Fennessy Quentin.Fennessy@amd.com Office: 512.602.3873 Cell: 512.694.7489 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
