Improve Your GNU/Linux Experience With -mm Patches

An anonymous reader writes "Anyone interested in squeezing maximum performance out of their GNU/Linux operating system and willing to compile a new kernel will be interested in this KernelTrap article about Andrew Morton's -mm patchset. The patchset currently offers better stability and performance than the mainline 2.6.0-test kernel, as well as containing numerous functionality enhancements. Much of the additional functionality is described, as well as providing simple step by step installation instructions. Reading this article, one can certainly understand why Linux creator Linus Torvalds has chosen Andrew to soon become the 2.6 maintainer."

    actually, except for the address, i think it would be a very good thing to have such easy updates available. Redhat does this, but only on a trial basis, if you want the full thing, you have to pay.

    Anyone interested in starting this project up?
