One common problem with Linux 2.2 that interfered with high-end (Intel?)
machines was its process limitations. Linux 2.2 only allowed
    you to have 1024 processes or threads running at once. With high-end
systems with many thousands of users, this could become a
    problem very quickly. Linux 2.4 has gotten rid of this relic and
implemented a scalable limit which can be configured at run time and is
    only limited by the amount of memory in the system. On high-end
servers with as little as half a gigabyte of RAM installed, it is easily
    possible to support as many as 16 thousand processes at once. Other
users have reported being able to run many more than that on
    their specific systems. This was one of the major bottlenecks that
kept Linux out of the Enterprise markets. 

Så med 2.4 (eller >=2.3.21 åbenbart) skulle du være sikret at du kan det
du efterspørger.

Unix is user-friendly; it's just a little particular about which users it is
friendly to.
