SuSE 6.2, Kernel 2.2.10 - stable enough now for server?

Post by Frank Baue » Fri, 20 Aug 1999 04:00:00



Hi,

just want to know if somebody has tested the 2.2.10 Kernel under
server-conditions.
We now currently running the 2.0.36 (very stable!!!!) but we think it might
be better for the performance to upgrade to the new kernel.

any comments?

Thanks
Frank

I do. It's good.
But, be careful with a 2.0.x to 2.2.x upgrade as a lot of things have
changed. For example :
    ipfwadm replaced by ipchains
    network interfaces configuration (route add -net no more needed for
iface network)

The 2.2.x kernels are very very stable though I suggest you uise the 2.2.11
since there are some security fixes wich are important.

The other question is, why replace a working system if you don't need any
other wishes.
I don't bring my car to the garage when it still works great.
