We have run RedHat 6.2 with Linux 2.4.0 kernels on our ia32 test
machines without any problems. I don't know about your applications.

No. The kernel patches that are required to support CSA job accounting
are only available for Linux 2.4.x. I will not be making Linux 2.2.x
patches.

Before starting the Linux CSA work, I looked around to see if
anyone else was providing or working on a job accounting package. I
didn't find any.
