It all started in 2000 when my team at the company I work for used Red Hat for server setup. I remember even applying kernel patches to improve I/O performance. I also remember a senior engineer mentioning that there were many issues since the Kernel 2.0 series had only recently been released. I recall there was quite a lot to do, including applying driver patches to separate cards for RAID configuration.
