But the other option is I start from scratch with FC2 if I want all the 2.6 enhancements. > Many of the same features are in the RHL 9 kernel. The only one I am aware of is the Native Posix Thread Library (NPTL). Do you know which other features were backported to RHL9? > A lot of those are in RHL 9, some are not. Which ones are you interested in? The one which I was hoping to get was the Scheduler support for hyperthreaded CPUs. I know that the new scheduler is able to discern between virtual and real cpus and therefore schedules processes optimally on Hyperthreaded CPU's. I have a dual Xeon at my school so this feature would be welcome. -- Robert Arkiletian C++ GUI tutorial http://fltk.org/links.php?V19 -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
