openmtl's Journal: Linux 2.6.3 is fine.

Latest update - Linux 2.6.3 running sweet !.

Unusually my Linux machine running 2.6.0 kernel hung twice when doing its 4am checkups. Weird - don't know if its hardware or software. Found some interesting applications though: trying Sysstat to continuously monitor loading. See http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sebastien.godard/

Hardware is ABIT BP6 with dual Celeron 500. Its had hardware issues a long time ago with Power supply caps not being big enoiugh - replaced these OK and its been stable. Its on a UPS.

The sar utilities should tell me I hope - they didn't because I put in 2.6.2/2.6.3 and problems went away. I have no idea what the hassle was but 2.6.3 is perfect so far.
