New Kernel Now Available
A new kernel version, 2.6.32, is now available through the SliceManager to install on your slice. Please be aware that the process does require a reboot to complete.
This kernel has been fully tested to work on all of the images we provide. With that said, you will notice one small caveat in regards to the memory reporting of your slice.
As many of you are aware, we do use the kernels provided straight from the developers at Ubuntu. However, it seems there is a bug in the recent kernel that appears to provide your slice with a few more megabytes than you would come to expect. This is a purely cosmetic issue and does not effect the actual performance of the slice itself.
As always, if you run into issues or have any concerns, please visit us in SliceChat or send an email to support@slicehost.com.

Any chance Slicehost will up the RAM per dollar cost right now?
I love Slicehost but Linode is dominating in both great service AND better prices.

Any chance you guys could offer something like this ksplice (rebootless patches) or maybe partner with them? http://www.ksplice.com/

Is this the same kernel like my CentOS 5.3 distro that reports total memory as 321? If it is, I still have the issue, and there isn’t a kernel update available for that, from what I can tell.

I have tried new version of Kernel, and i wanna say that i’ve liked it very much. The bug you talk about it’s not so essential. So, try new Kernel :-)
