I don't think this has been mentioned yet; Be cautious if you're using kernel
2.2.11 on a machine you want up a lot of the time, as there is a memory leak
in some of the TCP stuff. This was causing my PC to crash after a day or two
of constant running (thank goodness it wasn't an SMP related problem).

Info and a patch available from: http://www.linux.org.uk/
(Or wait for 2.2.12...)

Ok, so I've patched my kernel, I'm told by others this is the fix, but I won't
know until my PC has been up & running for several days straight. ^_^
