I've just read from http://geocrawler.com/lists/3/Linux/35/150/3977992 Alan Cox admitted that there are faults in 2.2.x VM, that would affect transaction at high load.
I'm developing a database server on Debian which is presently upgraded to woody, and the kernel is 2.2.x. The result of this development project would affect my company's impression on Linux as a whole. Had it failed, my company would forget adopting Linux forever. Since it's too late to rollback to slink, can I just recompile the 2.0.3.x kernel on this already-upgraded-server and left the packages in woody distribution untouch? Please kindly advise. Your advise would save the future of Linux here. Thanks. Dragon
