Sure, but there are measured performance loss in some areas 2.6 vs 2.4,
which seem unimportant to others on lkml. Interactive ssh console delay
is the one I notice and have reported a couple times to lkml without
resolution.
While 2.4.latest is getting security fixes from Willy Tarreau, I trust
it more than 2.6.stable to run the firewall box here, which is an old
pentium/mmx 233 box.
Grant.
