after these dicussions i tried it again these days multiple times witout and with "prelink -mRa" the possible difference is snake-oil on fast machines it doe snot matter on small machines AKA notebooks the prelink-cronjob did hurt me all the years way much more as it brought benefits and the fact that you get neraly each day some updates which would make prelink necessary and bring rkhunter to whine and defeats at least the benfit of any IDS is a very strong indication to leave it in the repos for people who feel better with snakeoil but do not enforce it as default
