Talk about ulimit.. Nobody mention yet ulimit-setting that shall be default for those distros.. Any reasonable values?
My FC3 max-user-process ulimit (default) is set to 8170. This will bring my machine down by forkbomb. So I set 50 for soft, 100 for hard.. Well it not work, since my KDE running lots of eye-candy, OOffice, tens of konsole tab.. And 1000 for soft 1500 for hard seem still too much. End of test, 400 for soft, 500 for hard seem OK.
But, I can see that setting (400 user-process) running well, becoz the/bin/sh occupy considered small amount of memory.. What if the process occupy huge memory.. Then another story of "Some Linux Distros Found Vulnerable by Default".
Well.. at the end I can't decide what default value that I should propose to FC team..
Linux ready for desktop, was to emphasize preemptive/low-lat improvement on Linux kernel, that benefit desktop-user. This will provide desktop machine with high responsiveness.
