That is completely untrue, and also missleading to the whole community
reading this thread. It is a sad fact that for example, RedHat kernels
have a zillion of badly tested or even not that patches, which Linus and
the Linux kernel development team would never insert in the kernel just
like that.

Not only that they are not *stable*, they are less stable than any pre
kernel.

So, on contrare, some of the 2.4.x-pre?-ac? kernels I've installed are the
most stable kernels Linux ever had, mainly since the -ac codebase patches
include the FreeBSD like VM. Actually, TAU mail services are running on
two machines using 2.4.18-pre3-ac2, being very very stable for quite a
long time.

And I have asked this question *BECAUSE* I have a problem with an
appliance using RedHat 7.2, and with the Linux kernel supplied by
RedCrack.
