Significant Interactivity Boost in Linux Kernel
An anonymous reader writes "The Linux kernel team is at it again. Linux creator Linus Torvalds recently proposed a patch to offer interactive processes a boost, greatly benefiting the X desktop, as well as music and movie players. O(1) scheduler author Ingo Molnar merged Linus' patch into his own interactivity efforts, the end result nothing short of amazing... The upcoming 2.6 kernel is looking to be a desktop user's dream come true."
Does this mean software will be easier to install also?
Damn OS bigots. My desktop runs Windows XP. Heres the setup:
1.6Ghz P4(Lower end)
NVidia TNT2M64(Definitely low end)
1GB ram(ok, I overkill here but performance was ok even at 256MB)
The Windows NT series operating systems are quite good. Reliable, well performing and productive in general. It may be easier to trash it entirely(ask me about my NT4 permission troubles someday) but, the point is, set up with half a brain the NT series is solid.
16 = 2^4 which is exactly 1/8th of 32 bits. Its not a design flaw its math.
How do rate anything but "1, Abhorent, slimy, under the bridge troll?" Certainly, you are no "5, interesting."
