Linux Kernel Performance How Will 2.6 Measure Up?
An anonymous reader writes "This story offers some interesting performance comparisons between the latest stable Linux kernels (2.4.x) and the latest development Linux kernels (2.5.x), comparing performance on both a single processor and dual processors. These numbers help validate that the upcoming 2.6 kernel will outperform the current 2.4 kernel, at least in some instances..."
There were 12 MHz 486's?
Autopackage sounds a lot like my pet project Linstaller. I stopped development a while back to get my CCNE and haven't restarted it since. One problem I ran into was what libraries you could expect to be installed on any given platform. Sure, there's the LSB, but does the LSB specify a base set of packages that make up a desktop or a server?
./configure; make; make install;s tend to make distro specific code. Instead I left the cross distro compiling up to the packager. All I provided was an archive format and a self extracting gui or command line installer that totaled under 50k of overhead. I stopped around the middle of implementing the scripting language backend. I didn't like the way it was going, and as I said earlier, CCNE was calling to me.
My aim was a little different from yours though. I was going for complete binary packaging from beginning to end. No source building, as automated
Maybe I should start it back up. It's not like I have much else going on lately. hmm...
How is that off topic? Hes asking about performance under Extreme loads. That is if hes being serious. If hes not then we shall crucify him! I wonder what this will do to my karma...
Viral software licensing is not freedom, it is in fact GNU/Socialism.
Are you serious? Read the post again, with your 'funny spectacles' on...
Meep.
But how is this news? Ever since the thread on Kernel Notes a month or so ago, most of us have known it this.
Please, don't post "Look how cool and leet I am" and then not even sign your posts. Who mod'd that up to 4
