Hi,

is that "preload" also caching the files that it puts in its list?
if that's the case than this program would be a wonderful program to
have in fedora.

Assuming the program is doing the following: you just work on your
computer and that daemon is registering all files that you access. the
most used files(?) are getting cached at next boot right?

@the other replies
i agree that it shouldn't just cache some pre set programs.. some
users might not use them and that will bee a pure waste of memory..
but it was just a idea to get this caching of the ground in Fedora.
The best thing would be the assumption that i've written above (or
that's what i think would work best). In my case Pidgin would be (or i
would add it) in the list because i use it quite often.

More brainstorming on this would be cool.
And what are the current caching systems? wasn't there a Google SOC
(Summer Of Code) about the caching this year.. and how did that one
ended up?
