Running the Linux 2.4 Kernel on IBM eServer xSeries Servers

Overview This paper is geared toward technical staff within IBM, our customers, and our Business Partners who intend to make use of the latest version of the Linux kernel (V.2.4).

Features such as new file systems that support logical volumes and journaling, improvements to Samba, support for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networking, and support for a wider variety of hardware all combine to enhance the appeal of Linux for many applications.
