This is my box at home (on which I'm currently writing this email). I'm currently compiling 2.6.16.9 and will test with this release later on. I will get some periodic ping running to check for connection failures and put some load on the machine. Will come back with the results later, but don't hold your breath waiting for me, kernel compile takes more than two hours on my box :-) Regards, Sven > > Regards, > Nuri > --=20 Linux zion.homelinux.com 2.6.17-rc1-mm1_31 #31 Sat Apr 8 16:18:23 CEST 2006= i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux 07:56:45 up 3 days, 11:30, 2 users, load average: 2.79, 1.32, 0.68 --5mCyUwZo2JvN/JJP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFETw16o4FAdB2PneQRAqFFAJwMzpbe42OK0YCWu7FiLRrcx4kr2wCfbFMx TTwPU+SJPzxE05KATOxTKlc= =xFAV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5mCyUwZo2JvN/JJP--
