Andrew Morton And The Low-Latency Kernel Patch

An Anonymous Coward writes: "KernelTrap has interviewed Linux kernel hacker Andrew Morton, author of the low-latency patch. Though his patch has received less attention than Robert Love's preemptible kernel patch (recently merged into the 2.5 kernel), it results in quite significantly lower latencies. The interview is quite interesting, delving into the low-latency patch, explaining how it works and the differences between it and the preempt patch. He also talks about his ext3 work, porting that journaling filesystem from the older stable 2.2 kernel to the current stable 2.4 kernel."

Quite funny. Wouldn't that be ./configure doesn't support BSD? Afterall, it's configure that has the interest in 'configuring' on as many platforms as possible -- not BSDs job to look and act like the next guy.

Anyhow.. Back to compiling Postgresql and friends under Windows using that ./configure thingy.
