I've posted a couple of times to list about my 2.4 kernel experiences
(I'd also subscribe to developers mailing list since its at the
incredibly experimental stage :)

I've got it on a Raq3, with patched bios update and the 2.4 kernel
happily running for about 3 or 4 months now. Its not running anything
commercial, its just a test site and used internally so no real load.

Only possible problem is the bandwidth limit which is a kernel module
that won't load because of compatibility. Apart from that, no problems
found. Congrats to Tim & co at Cobalt as always.

Andy
