Outstanding issues between 2.0.7 and Linux?

[Carl Litt <carl@execulink.com>]

I know the answers to these for 1.2.x, but I'm deploying a new 2.0.7
installation and I wonder if the answers have changed (on the
Linux platform).

Is threaded 2.0.7 slapd still a bad idea under Linux?  I remember
issues with 1.2.x and Linuxthreads, but I thought I heard that 2.x
would overcome this.  (I've got a nice dual PIII/800 and I'd hate to
see half of it go to waste).

Is Berkeley DB 3.1 much better than GDBM when considering performance
and reliability?  I notice it's recommended, but why?

Thanks,
