I thought that there was a previous thread here indicating that LVS
pre-bundled with other distributions were not the best way to go about
using LVS, possibly due to outdated patches?
Should I just use the RPMs that came with the CD, or go and download the
latest 2.2.17 kernel+LVS patches? Are the features and bugfixes major
enough that I will see a difference in performance on old boxes?
