I guess I need to rethink my plan for kernels. I thought 2.4.20 with preemptive patch would be a good move, but now I'm not so sure. I guess it's back to the research boards for me. My main complaint with Linux so far is the performance on high-end PC's, like my KX7-333 Board and Athlon XP thoroughbred cpu. I've been looking for improvement with optimizing gcc compiler flags, and now this preemptive kernel stuff looks extremely promising. Any advice is greatly welcome. I also just read there is a new Intel compiler for linux, that offers much improved application compiling.
Thanks for the info, guys, Robert C.
