Hello.
In reading about the cool new features of Linux v2.4, most of the
improvements/changes seem to relate to high-end systems. Would users of low-end
systems (386/486, low memory, etc.) be advised to stay with kernel v2.2.x or is
v2.4.x the way to go for these systems as well?
Thank you.

The memory management in 2.4 should be quite a bit
better for systems where the working set size is
more than a tiny fraction of system memory ;)
