SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED :)
On my AMD K5 and Cyrix 6x86 Machines it achieves a speed invrease of around
30%. Besides that netscape does not die after 3h or so anymore and the Cyrix
Machine finally got stable enough to run a Oracle Server with 10 clients.
To use the 2.2 kernel you will need to download the whole 2.2 file from either
ftp.kernel.org or maybe when a SuSE version comes out from ftp.suse.com and
compile it.
You will need to throw out the kerneld start files from your start files and
you will need to update 2 - 3 packages so everything runs smoothly. But, its
absolutely worth the effort.
