I am waiting for kernel 2.4 to come out (and then even wait for SuSE to release there one). Should not be long now.
The 2.2* line is basically a dead line and I imagien that 2.2.18 will be its last ever release.
Sun Solaris already does this and Solaris is slower than Linux...

What exactly does it do thats bad in the eye of business? The worst thing I know very much about (unfortuantly!) is that there are plenty of hacker targets out there purely down to the fact that there servers are felt so mission critical tehy will not take them down for a Kernel upgrade.
But the point about uptime being tweaked may show why Solaris seemingly has great uptime:-).
I take downtime to really mean server crashes, rather than upgrades or improvements.
You raised some good points, but I wanted to add more. One final note lets not forget where Linux is already succeeding...In the Server Space.
