I'm going to use 2.4 for the foreseeable future; but since it already does
what I want, there seems little need to put much the development effort
(other than a bit of maintenance) there.
You'll be better off minimizing the amount of work you have to do: that
means concentrating on only one kernel branch and keeping your patch vs.
that branch as small as possible. To me, I guess that means you should use
the Linux 2.6SE stuff.
The userspace tools don't have to stay too compatible - I'm not afraid of
twiddling a few scripts, as long as I can get the same functionality. I
hope linux-vserver remains simpler and less confusing than full-blown
Linux-SE, though, because that's one of the reasons I like the vserver
stuff :)
Have fun,
Avery
