Having Newegg about 100 miles away is pretty neat. :-D Hi, I have U2300, 3Gb, 120gb SSD and I tried prelinkin on my system. I didn't notice any improvement. Best regards Petri I read up on what it does and I sort of think it won't make much difference. I'm about to have 8Gbs of ram here and I figure it might help on the first load but after that, it will be cached in memory and very fast anyway. I'm not to surprised that you didn't see any difference in speed. I used it on a older and pretty slow rig once and it did help. I think it was 800Mhz with 512Mbs of ram. It also had some much slower IDE drives too. It wasn't a huge difference but you could tell the difference. Thanks for the reply. Wait and see if anyone else thinks it would make anything faster or not. Dale :-) :-)

I have a ssd. I always used prelink. After a botched gcc upgrade I was forced to reinstall (yeah, THAT botched). I forgot to install prelink. I did not miss it. I realized that I forgot prelink when Neil started his glibc thread and I had a look with eix.

I live one-day UPS ground time from Memphis (I can drive there in about 4 1/2 hours). It's always a sad moment when I see my order status from Newegg and that it is not shipping from Memphis, but California or NJ... Well, what got me once was the trip a package took. I ordered something, can't remember what it was now but anyway, it left Memphis, went to Atlanta and sat there a day or two, then went to some place in Kentucky and sat there for a day or two. Then it went back to Memphis where it sat for a couple days and then they dropped it off at the post office to be delivered. DHL was the one that did all the running around the country. Needless to say, I wrote newegg a little note about all that. They refunded the shipping, which I wasn't worried about, and said she was going to talk to the higher ups since they are getting a lot of similar complaints. I notice that their only options now are UPS and such. I don't see the so called egg saver anymore. That package took over a week for me to get. As I explained in my note to newegg, I could have rode a bicycle to Memphis, got the package and rode the bike back faster than the shipping company could get it here or even just get it back to Memphis to drop it off at the post office. The funny part, once it was taken to the post office, I got it the next day. So much for snail mail. They should have shipped it with them to begin with. lol At least we know now why they went belly up. Let's not mention the part from Sears that I had to drive 40 miles one way to get. They delivered it to some ladies house. She found me in the phone book. I guess DHL doesn't have a phone book. :-@ There is only two people around here with my last name. The other is my brother.

Personal experience? from 'man prelink' 'prelink is a program that modifies ELF shared libraries and ELF dynamically linked binaries in such a way that the time needed for the dynamic linker to perform relocations at startup significantly decreases. Due to fewer relocations, the run-time memory consumption decreases as well (especially the number of unshareable pages). The prelinking information is only used at startup time if none of the dependent libraries have changed since prelinking; otherwise programs are relocated normally.' So I would not expect much gain from fast storage such as an SSD, and also the linker would hopefully have gotten smarter as well, perhaps making prelink redundant. From an average system some time ago when prelink first hit gentoo, it made a huge difference in startup times on the likes of openoffice when I did timimgs. All my systems are prelinked these days, and I have not the time to do any tests - is someone able to do before/after tests on some common, but slow loading apps and post here?

It needs to be readable by the group the web server belongs to. Try chmod +r README.pdf
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] invisible README
I recently put some files up at http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/esp/ . One of them is README.pdf , which is visible when I list the dir contents using SSh or Krusader, but which is not shown by FF, Konqueror or Lynx. If I make a copy called READFILE.pdf , it is shown by the browsers. Can anyone explain what's going on ? The user context that the webserver is running in doesnt have read access to the files?

What does the httpd error log say :)
[gentoo-user] starting kde
My laptop normally runs gnome but T want to demo some other desktops tomorrow and kde is giving me problems - kde-meta 4.4.5 is installed. I think last time I did this it was kde-3.5 but that almost two years ago now and the same method isnt working for 4.4.5. I have a different user setup for each demo, I need all desktops to be running concurrently. startkde $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server The same occurs if I use startkde -- :1 etc Note that I want to run kde at the same time as gnome, fluxbox, xfce and LXDE I'm also having problems with LXDE but thats a different error ...
