I don't have any idea about Linux/Unix system programming but will try Intel C++ compiler on my kernel just to see if it will make the system snappier. I like Linux and don't have any problem with its tools/software/system compared to Windows except for the speed. That's all. thanks The forthcoming 2.6 linux kernel is supposed to provide a lot of speed improvements in this area with it's much improved task switch latency. -- Torgeir Veimo <[email protected]>
