Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
I believe you will find LDM issues to be kernel independent and more likely distro dependent. It's not necessarily the kernel that will cause problems, but the gcc/glibc implementation of the distro vendor, and whether due diligence was done to make sure all aspects of the distro share the same libs. We are on a home grown Linux distro (PDI GalileoLinux), running the Linux 2.4.12 kernel. On an SMP, I'm running _all_ four channels of NOAAPort through a single LDM . . . NWSTG, both GOES, and the DCP channel . . . and using the box to run 8 open NMAP2 sessions (hey - I like to electronically chase), Garp, netscape, NWX, and proprietary tools. Here is my "w": 7:54pm up 3 days, 35 min, 3 users, load average: 0.50, 0.43, 0.39 ". . . when the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems begin to look like nails." -- Stonie R.
