Debi an includes it? Mandriva too? For the admins that have 24/7 high-availability operations, this would be a super benefit. If it's a remote, even better. For little fish like me that eke 15 years out of all sorts of eqpt, also a boon. No performance hit. I have used it in my past LFS life and can attest to its effectiveness. If you don't include it, NP. I may start building my own kernels again. Not my preference, but that's how useful it is to me. BTW, google for endorsements much more authoritative than mine. You'll probably like it regardless of your decision. > -steve > <snip sig stuff> -- Bill
