RedHat Linux 7.0 with all current RedHat bugfixes and glibc upgrades.
Custom-compiled 2.4.17 kernel with ext2/ext3 ACL patches.  On an ext2
partition:

[root at bigbox /export]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.temp bs=1k count=3000000
3000000+0 records in
3000000+0 records out
[root at bigbox /export]# ls -l test.temp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     3072000000 Dec 10 11:06 test.temp


I think the ext2/ext3 2 gig limit is just a common misconception.
