Hi ! Please tell me , How many processes does linux kernel 2.4 supports.In kernel 2.2 , there was a limit i.e. maximum 512 processes . But in kerenl 2.4 and above there is no such checking being done . I think it just depends upon the available memory. Also please tell me what' s the meaning of process state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE in Linux . Looking for a positive response !!! Regards, Ankush R. B.
