[Discussion] What would be a good choice of kernel ?

[Felix Matathias <felix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

we just bought a new cluster of machines and I am about to choose a kernel
with the following criteria:

1)Patch web100 with no problems
2)Patch some flavor of fast TCP like FAST TCP etc for tests and
performance.

> From the web100 site I see that the latest web100 patch applies to 2.6.12
Should I stick with that ? What about 2.6.13 ? Already a memeber of the
list (Maurice Volaski) reported some problems with 2.6.13.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,

Best,
Felix

P.S. Any suggestion on an alternate TCP stack specked for high speed ? We 
have a private gigabit network and are geared towards very fast data 
transfers between local computers (accelerator experiment at a national 
lab). Are there any interaction problems between web100 and
a non-standard TCP stack ?
