I changed the kernel to 2.6.27.12-78.2.8.fc9.i686 and so far it is stable. x64 will be the next step. i686 is what our guys install by default, I didn't bother to reinstall it.In spite of the theoretical benefits of 64 bit, I find that the advantages are "measurable but not noticeable" for most things. The lack of 64 bit versions of some applications was a problem for me, but may not be for you. I did find that even building from source not all applications worked right, or worked at all, or in some cases compiled. :-(
More or less this is our experience also, but this box will only be used as a file-server. Does anybody know if software RAID benefits when being run in 64-bit ? -- Best Regards, Vladimir Ivashchenko Chief Technology Officer PrimeTel PLC, Cyprus - www.prime-tel.com Tel: +357 25 100100 Fax: +357 2210 2211
