    I don't know how it compares to dtrace (in this wiki it appears that they have feature parity for all the important stuff), but I can tell you that it works quite well and it's very complete and it's well documented. It really deserves the 1.0 version tag.

    But in the kernel world very few people seems to use it, it seems that perf + static tracepoints have become the preferred tool for performance diagnostics.

  3. More Torrents == Faster Fedora12 Downloads by SgtChaireBourne · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yeah, tried several--same problem. Finally found one that worked via FTP.

    Once you get it, help others get Fedora. Bandwidth schedulers can help if you're concerned about that. The demand will be there for a few days as people get it for work. Home users will try on the weekend, so if you can, help out by leaving your torrent up for a week or so.
