Re: Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo-sources vs GS-sources
Thank you Aaron. That's what I was looking for - some reassurance as to what "more stable" was. It sounds like gentoo-sources is pretty stable and reliable. As for asking twice that's my error - I'm just wrapping up the transisiton from Caldera WS 3.1 to Gentoo. KDE on the WS 3.1 box decided to die - again so I'm moving everything over. Part of that is the move to a new mail program and I thought I'd entered the address wrong and that it didn't go through especially when I didn't see the post appear after a long time.

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo-sources vs gs-sources
I would use vanilla with ck patches for a desktop system, it has got all the cool preempt low latency O1 seduler stuff in :-) - Original Message - From: "Brett I.

Brett I. Holcomb wrote: The Gentoo docs say gs-sources are more stable and reliable then gentoo-sources but gentoo-sources have better performance. How much more stable are the gs vs gentoo-sources? For those who have used both - what is the difference in performance and stability, reliability. Thanks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list First of all, why ask the same question twice within 2 hrs of each other? I have not used gs-sources, only because I haven't needed to. gentoo-sources is plenty stable and is most likely a bit faster as well. I use gentoo-sources on both my desktop system and my mail server (which has been up for 2 months.. it's only been booted up once, right after the install ;) not bad for a really old P233 and 2 really old 7giggers.. oh yeah and the really old 72-pin memory that I used to have on my keychain) before I converted my mail server over to gentoo, it was running RH9 which I had to reboot every 7 days or so because it would start to slow down and get real sluggish. Every day I thank the god of computers that gentoo is here. Aaron -- /usr/bin/fortune says: After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
