Compiling went without problems! On a 850Mhz CPU with 576Mb Memory; I did the following, all at the same time, started in this order: X with KDE 2.1, gkrellm, licq, freeamp, 5* konqueror, kmail, bonnie++, `du /home|sort -nr|head -100' (11+ Gig of files), `slocate *|wc -l', `find /|wc -l', make Python and test it (117 tests went OK1 test failed: test_openpty). During this period, everything kept very responsive, there were 2 times a little delay would occur when moving a window like crazy, or scrolling a konqueror page would delay a bit (it's only a 32Mb card and no accel.), but switching desktops went fine and more important, freeamp did not skip a single time !!!! You should see the laugh on my face while I'm typing this ;^) Any other testing you can think of ?? -- ElkOS: 2:20pm up 2:17, 3 users, load average: 2.66, 3.18, 3.60 bofhX: We've run out of licenses  - 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/
