We have now tested the latest Red Hat 7.2 kernel (2.4.7.-10) and it passes our regression tests, which means that it is indeed a reasonably stable kernel that I would be willing to put my home directory on if it was me and I wasn't using NFS on it. (I used 2.4.5 on my laptop for months with no problem, and I would guess that it is as stable as that one, when we talk about stable, remember we mean stable for a a few hundred thousand users). The latest Linus kernels will be more stable, and since Linux is still stabilizing, I would guess that using a recent kernel is going to remain a good idea for the next few months. Apologies to Red Hat for relying on second hand reports, and for that reason advising users to go to a kernel I had more knowledge about. Users using NFS should keep a watch on the recently found bug involving rename, I think a patch just came out recently, and I expect it will be going into the kernel soon.
