RHat 7.1 kernel version

[Richard Edelman]

Don't use the 2.4.11 kernel, it's rather fubar.  Is that mandrake security 
hole notice the one about a local DoS exploit affecting all kernels 2.2.16 
(might have been 2.2.19?) to 2.4.10? 2.4.12 is probably the safest to use, 
but the VM has been fully hammered out (supposedly) in 2.4.14. At least, now 
it's to the point where Linus is really comfortable with it, and even Alan 
Cox is going to use the new VM in his tree.
