On the other hand, it's quite understandable that even just disk access on that under-powered 66 MHz machine could disrupt everything else going on. That was certainly my experience running Linux on such a box.

Considering that I've not heard any other complaints about speed in the couple years they've been in use, "desperate" is wrong. Demonstrably, there is no real performance problem -- today, on typical Linux systems. But regardless, patches to speed things up can be accepted. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
