Use a kernel.org kernel, not the crap that comes out of RH. RH applies
some patches to kernel releases that do not have the approval of the
rest of the developers. It is likely to be more stable to be on a well
tested kernel. BTW 2.4.20 is available. Of course after bashng RH's
kernel releases I need to point out that there are patches for the
2.4.20 kernel that deal with some bugs found in the ext3 filesystem.
