It also does well on slower machines of about 1/4 the the CPU and disk bandwidth. IMHO, interactivity is reasonable (again just IMHO), and others may disagree. -- Powered by linux-2.5.70-mm3 My current linux related activities in rough order of priority: - Testing of 2.4/2.5 kernel interactivity - Testing of Swsusp for 2.4 - Testing of Opera 7.11 emphasizing interactivity - Research of NFS i/o errors during transfer 2.4>2.5 - Learning 2.5 series kernel debugging with kgdb - it's in the -mm tree - Studying 2.5 series serial and ide drivers, ACPI, S3 * Input and feedback is always welcome * - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
