>> 6. 2.4 kernels are still recommended. > We're moving to 2.6 kernels which works beautifully on most systems - a few systems still seems to have problems with 2.6 kernels. The 2005.0 livecd will have both 2.6 and 2.4 kernels for this reason. After asking a few questions here and some initial hair-pulling, I've been running 2.6.8 with *zero* problems since August '04. The major problems I encountered during the install itself were the LiveCDs and the infamous QLOGIC ISP1020 driver issues. Look for my post to this list dated August 24, 2004 titled 'Woo-hoo! (or "Successful Miata Installation Notes")' for some pointers. I've since been running NFS, NTP, Samba, Apache2 w/4 virtual hosts, Postfix, PostgreSQL, UW-IMAP (I've only got a few family members as users), and various miscellaneous daemons on my Miata. All running quite happily. I've even done some of my Oracle work on it, using the JDBC thin client. Other than the SCSI whine of the drives, it's chugging along fine. GL!
