I just compiled 2.4.10-ac8 this morning and so far so good. I've got 112Mb on my machine and (conveniently enough) can run GNOME plus a few apps before hitting swap. So I took it right to the edge of physical memory and then started Mozilla. No problems. With 2.4.10 (kernel.org) this was certain death. Previously I had 2.4.6 running which worked but would get very slow when swapping. Abnormally slow. (Mouse would freeze temporarily while swapping). Not seeing that behavior so far. Hope that helps a bit. Not exactly a battle-tested kernel or anything but so far I find 2.4.10-ac8 to be an improvement over <=2.4.6 Cheers, Keith On Mon, 2001-10-08 at 06:59, Kevin B.
