Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi Alan, I was just wondering if you might stamp your kernel releases clearly with some indication of stable/probably stable/don't bet the farm - or some such. I've got a big-ish (2 X 1Ghz, 1.5G) multi-user terminal server that's having bits of flakiness (which I suspect are recently fixed), and could probably stand a kernel upgrade. I'm guessing that 2.4.10-ac4 is probably a good bet, but I'd sure be happy if you'd make clear statements to that effect. ;-) (i.e., when Linus releases something non-pre, I assume he means 'I think this is stable' - even though he's not always right, I still feel better trying those in production than any of his -pre's) regards, David -- David L.
