Interesting. never heard of aa kernel (maybe ac ?) ... where do i get it - kernel.org doesn't mention it, and google doesn't produce relevant results to my query ... and about suse - if redhat don't update tux in their kernel trying to make pple to buy their content acceleration server, i have no problem trying suse - i am actually hoping that the united linux initiative will produce something useful . will try to download suse kernel package, and take a look at the tux source to look if that's the latest version. -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: éåí çîéùé 17 àå÷èåáø 2002 22:01:03 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RH kernel 2.4.18-10 and patches from http://people.redhat com/~mingo/TUX-patches/ The stock kernel may not be the best choice - For good tux results, try the latest -aa kernel. This includes various performance enhancements, including O(1), low latency core and high-end VM fixes - and always includes the TuX server. Not to stir up trouble, but the tux that ships with SuSE 8.1 seems to be pretty solid :-) Joe Alex Kramarov wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Pierre POMES" <[email protected]> >To: <[email protected]> >Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 12:57 PM >Subject: RH kernel 2.4.18-10 and patches from >http://people.redhat.com/~mingo/TUX-patches/ > > > > >>Hi, >> >>I am currently using tux in production on a redhat 7.3 with redhat >> >> >updates, and tux > > >>2.2.5 (rpm version).
