i see a persistent 50% to 60% tty scrool speed increase from aprox. 10s to
4s for 5k line listings
i think is a good tip, will keep my new grub settings ...
=======================================
linux is free, but needed expertise to use this little beast
is a personal, time consuming, continuous accumulation of knowledge
and wasted time can not be rolled back no matter how much money you have
selling free software can not bring to you too much money,
but USING free software you can make a lot of money
like Google ... or IBM
your little help to free software development does not bring
to you any money but can help you use it more efficiently,
so you can make more money ... meanwhile, other users of
that little free software program, using your contribution
can make more money! nobody loses anything, all those who know
how to use a free software program, in continuous evolution, wins
