But then we usually do not run the "released" Debian version. Typically one runs testing. Ubuntu is different there we usually run releases. But those have been SLUB for as long as I remember. And so far it is rock solid and is widely rolled out throughout our infrastructure (mostly 2.6.32 kernels). > but a sample of one doeth not great testing make. > > However, since you admit even you see problems, let's concentrate on > fixing them rather than recriminations? I do not see problems here with earlier kernels. I only see these on one testing system with the latest kernels on Ubuntu 11.04.
