I second that. It gives a considerable performance boost even on single processor systems. BTW, you also need to edit the linux-headers-2.6.0 ebuild to include your arch in the keywords. (the bootstrap mentions this) There's a fix for X as well. Also, at least earlier this week you also needed an unstable version of util-linux (2.12-r4). Has anyone tried nptl on a k6-2? My mother's desktop/home server has a k6-2 400MHz and it's currently quite sluggish in KDE. I have a spare hd, and I just thought whether it would be worth it to make a new installation with nptl on it. -- Jani-Matti Hätinen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
