Any advantage to kernel 2.4 in low-end system?
Hello.
In reading about the cool new features of Linux v2.4, most of the improvements/changes seem to relate to high-end systems. Would users of low-end systems (386/486, low memory, etc.) be advised to stay with kernel v2.2.x or is v2.4.x the way to go for these systems as well?
Thank you.

The memory management in 2.4 should be quite a bit better for systems where the working set size is more than a tiny fraction of system memory ;)
