Well some people argue that as the Linux development team state the 1.3.x series of kernels are the *development* ones... and the 1.2.x series are the *stable* ones... : I've been running 1.3.94 (and 1.3.88 earlier) compiled with a pentium : enhanced version of gcc 2.7.2 (penitum patch level 9) for 3 weeks with : no crashes or problems. I think that it's just noticely faster. Although some benchmarks would be nice... If you were seriously interested in stability then you wouldn't even be asking these questions... if you want stability take it.. if you want speed *risk it* ;) Pete -- Peter Childs --- http://www.imforei.apana.org.au/~pjchilds Active APANA SA Member --- Author PopWatch + Inf-HTML Email: pjchilds@imforei.apana.org.au Fax: 61-8-82784742
