[NTLUG:Discuss] sc2b motherboard

[Steve Orr]

According to the software guys, we've written some code that is very kernel
specific. Do you think the preformance/stability gain(s) would be worth a
rewrite?

Are you locked into Red Hat 6.2?  I'd really recommend that you go with
Red Hat 7.2 with the 2.4 kernel since the 2.4 kernel series handles
SMP/Dual Processing much better than the 2.2 kernels in RH6.2
(kernel-2.2 series just barely handled Dual Processors).
