We are working on a solution that use Suns Sunray terminals and the Sunray server software only runs on a 2.4 kernel so we need to look at this as an option. The only other route open is to go fully Solaris 10 (which throws up a stack of other issues)
I'd be half tempted to suggest looking at running Debian as it is so close to Ubuntu in so many ways and using it with a 2.4 kernel. Anyhow, why does the sunray stuff *need* a 2.4 kernel? it sounds evil :)
Evil is not fair(a pain yes). It is funky stuff and Sunrays are very cool
If you really needed something from Ubuntu that isn't in Debian it really shouldn't be much trouble to build your own packages from the Ubuntu sources (maybe).
I think the Debian option is worth looking at.
Umm, sorry that doesn't answer the original question btw, I guess it would work but some funky Ubuntu stuff may stop working. Best advice I can give would be to install Ubuntu and try it with a 2.4 kernel and see what happens.
I will fire it up and test it. I was just wondering if anyone new of anything obvious that would bite me somewhere painful :)
Thanks
