The 2.6 kernel is what makes the difference in performance, I think. Beta 2 ran like a whiz on my PC's, but like a dawg on my laptop. Now it runs fast on all of them. Go Figure! Just as an indicator, you'll see as much as 40% improvement in speed. It's like putting DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 on a P4-3.0 Ghz Hyper-threading system for me. Oh! Silly me, it IS a P4 ! Seriously though, it's much more faster-er-er than it was. -- Lanman Registered Linux user #190712 "Smart IT people are staring out the window into the eye of a giant penguin!"
