 I don't use the redhat kernels, but I have been using 2.4.9 since about
the same week it came out with nary a problem. I haven't seen any issues
with the VM really, but then again the most intensive thing this machine
runs is about 60 xterms, netscape, and a few copies each of xv and the
gimp. No crashes or weird behavior though.
