actually, learning how to compile the kernel is basic stuff you should

Thx, 100% ACK.
I agree that it may be simple. But I never need it before, and in my
job, it
will be useless...
Kernel compilation is never useless. it's the first thing I learned how
to do when using Linux oh-so-many-years-ago.
So why don't share your knowledge with noobs like me instead of saying
"go
ask google" ?
Why when we use linux we must absolutly know how to hack the kernel to
get
more fps ?
hacking the kernel, and compiling the kernel are two very different
things. upgrading your kernel is similar to upgrading any software
package, it has bugfixes, updates, and many other things that help your
system run more smoothly.
As for sharing our knowledge, 90% of us learned from using google or
similar search engines, there's a wealth of information available out
there, and it's far more complete than any of us could sit down and write
to you. There are tons of forums available for you to ask questions in as
well, forums that cover a much broader range of topics than just HLDS_L.
I use linux because it's stable, faster than windows for some
applications... But don't say me that it is easyer to tweak... One
example :
change monitor resolution, color depth, refresh rate in a few clicks...
Linux is definately not easier to tweak, but I think it's definately more
fun :)
I stop here because I have to get back to work, and I don't want to make
a
discussion about that.
I will try to compile the kernel, but I think I may help the plugin
developper, by helping him to solve that bug...
the developer will want to know a LOT of information about your kernel
version, what options are enabled, and what happens if you update in order
to track the bug down.
