Hi, I've been playing around with the preemption patches (applied to 2.4.20) under http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/ Can anybody speak for the stability/usefulness of those patches applied on a desktop-workstation? >From what I have seen, I got much better response when working with CPU intensive app's such as mozilla, etc. However would anybody (not) recommend them in a production (desktop-)environment, and if so why? According to one person on the local LUG, the patch might make certain parts of the (2.4) kernel potentially unstable. Can somebody verify this? thanks, ~/joachim -- http://www.bauernberger.org/ mailto:joachim@bauernberger.org Tel/Fax: +(49)-0-89/1588 3874 HP: +(49)-0-179/674 3611 -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
