Linux 2.2.x on ix86 only supports files upto 2 GB. Linux 2.4.x or any
64-bit plateform (SPARC, Alpha, m68k) fixes this (through the Large File
Summit support, and a new libc).
Memory: Upto 1 GB is supported stock, 2 GB by recompiling kernel. There is
work in progress in 2.4 for supporting the > 32 bit ix86 addressing modes
available in some processors.
