Hi,
I too can recommend the -aa kernels. I have been using the -aa kernels since 2.4.10, and IMHO they are just as stable if not more stable than the vanilla kernels. The difference is in the performance, especially the swapping as Andrea noted. Specifically they are better at I/O, both throughput and interactive responsiveness during heavy I/O. I have also seen the best utilization on my little 100/switched network using these kernels. I also use -aa on my Thinkpad and it works great there too. I haven't tried the XFS but I did try tux and it just smokes!
Anyways just my 2 cents,
Shane
BTW: Big thanks to Andrew Morton for stepping up and splitting the VM pieces for merging.
