Re: What is the most stable kernel to date?

[Juergen Sawinski <juergen.sawinski@mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de>]

My computer at work uses 2.4.19-pre10-ac2-preempt (i686) and is up 13
days now. A couple of people are working on it causing high loads with
Matlab, VMware etc...

The last one, 2.4.19-pre?-ac?-preempt (sorry, forgot the numbers) ran
for a couple of month... so I consider 2.4.19-pres quite stable.
