| |
Hi,
I have 2 servers which might need to go unattended for several weeks at a time. They are currently running vanilla 2.4.10 but my confidence in this (SMP) kernel has been shaken when it spontaneously froze solid the other day while I was viewing a web-page in Mozilla. (And all I was doing was using the scrollbar on an already-loaded page! No oops messages, no chance to use Alt-SysRq, nothing.)
All that the servers would be doing would be connecting to the Internet periodically using PPPoE and DSL (with NAT), forwarding emails and performing various CPU-bound tasks. They should both have ample available memory and should not need to swap much, if at all.
Does anyone have any kernel recommendations / counter-recommendations, please? One server is SMP, the other is UP, and both are Intel architecture.
Cheers, Chris
