Does it really affect performance? I am not sure about that. But the reason that you see the fragments is because the defragmenting utilities show them. They create the need for defragmenting by showing the fragmentation.
The difference between differnt file systems is still often a factor 6. This is in the design, and has notthing to do with fragmentation. Any file sytem will have severe fragmentation if the disk is used with very little space free. This is exactly what happen with the average geek PC that will get overloaded with gadgets.
By the way, i have seen a ext2 defragger. quality was "use at your own risk".

"The scheduler is about 100 lines out of however-many-million (3.8 at least count), and doesn't even impact most normal performace very much. "... "Let's face it - the current scheduler has the same old basic structure that it did almost 10 years ago, and yes, it's not optimal, but there really aren't that many real-world loads where people really care. I'm sorry, but it's true. "
Basically he is saying "the scheduler never changed." This is before the O(1) change.
elsewere he wrote: I wrote what is _still_ largely the algorithm in 1991, and it's damn near the only piece of code from back then that even _has_ some similarity to the original code still
Maybe SCO is saying again that it is interesting. That is basically their claim. They say they own (something) about unix, and the scheduler is something very generic about linux.
Note that after this post the O(1) scheduler was implemented so ther are big changes in 2.5 and and later 2.4 kernels.
1. This is not how budgets in large companyÂs work. Manager like to know in advance how expensive a certain servcie will be. 2. This is how microsoft works (eek), If you have a problem you call the service desk. Unless you have pre-bough support, you are required to pay them before they look at your problem. Even as i am quite sure they can help me, and i am willing to pay, the burden to get approval for this payment, and the time to get this approval makes it simpler to just spend some of my expensive time on the problem.
Of course you have to take the comment of the editor with a grain of salt. he should have written, "in my opinion David...."
If you did read the link(a lot of posters never do this) you notice that you are required to buy services for installing red hat AS. That is not something the GPL prohibits.
However because you need to buy additional services for each additional server this licencse starts to conflict with the GPL. effectivaly they are saying "This software is free... but you have to pay for our blessing."
It would be allowed story if this services really meant regular updates FOR EACH SERVER. then you would pay for the network connection and support.
But there is no reason why you wouldnÂt install 10 servers never update them and never require support for this.
I donÂt know how this port 1080 works (and i like not to get this virus!) but could anyone write a utility to connect to port 1080, and drop a disinfector at the pc?
"executing format C:"
Will be just fine after they send a few hunderd mails.
All these protocols were there to get the greatest speed on your 2400... 9600 baud modema (and i am sure there are people here who used slower modems)
But you forgot the mention the speeds of the protocols:
Ymodem-G was the fastest. (if you got an errorless link) Zmodem followed close withing a few %. Ymodem was a bit slower, but by the time people got Y modem Zmodem was already popular Xmodem was much slower(20-30%), but everyone supported it.
I still use zmodem now and then if i am too lazy to startup an ftp transfer.
A sony DV camcorder generates 13 GB for 1 DV (~60 minutes) tape. It also has a "LP" (long play?) mode that fits 90 minutes in that same space. If they would use the same compression (DV) 1.5 GB would result in an impressive 11 minutes of DV quality video. (DV quality video is what you get for tape based 700 DV camcorders)
I first tried to copy and paste page 2 into a post. I thought it would look better in fixed font. The filters did not allow the table. I forgot to preview and now i have an ugly post that will be forever stored into the internet. But the mirror is there!
Weren't they the ones that offered UNIX licenses for US$99 to Linux users after first making the claim? I think they did try to 'work out some kind of licensing', but they didn't offer any proof of why end users should do it.
the inquirer article You have to take the inquirere with a grain of salt but it says:
"The libraries, which perform basic operations such as opening files, are currently licensed for use with with SCO's OpenServer and UnixWare Unix variants, but not with the UnitedLinux distribution that the company sells.
If the libraries are used in conjunction with a program called Linux-ABI, they make migration easier for companies moving from Unix to Linux and so it is believed that SCO is keen to make such customers pay for the privilege.
The SCO Group refused to confirm or deny the move"
