If it ran reasonably fast, well, think yourself unusual. I run XP, and although I've got a Win7 box, I never run it, it always felt dreadfully slow - and that's going back years. I doubt they've changed anything, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a default config. I don't tend to dig in to that, so I wouldn't know what to change. Plus, of course, changing things tends to break Windows' authentication :-( Cheers, Wol44
[gentoo-user] Virtualbox 7
I run Windows 7 in VirualBox-6 and it runs relatively fast but after upgrade to VirtualBox-7 (7.0.10) I noticed users weren't able to access Windows-7 server; the network got almost non responsive. I've notice same with earlier VirtualBox-7.0.8 (something) I've found many post complaining about similar problems with VirtualBox-7 What changes did they introduced in VirtualBox-7 that make it unusable? It will force me to switch to Windows 11; I know Windows-7 is no longer supported but I've been running Windows-7 on Gentoo for a long time and VirtualBox-7 incompatibility with Windows-7 will force me to ditch Linux :-/ -- Thelma

[gentoo-user] Open source network monitoring / intrusion detection recommendations?
Hi, I have a couple of older, by today's standards not very powerful, laptops and I was considering setting up some sort of network monitoring aimed mostly at watching for intrusion events but also just network traffic and resource issues. I'm wondering what you all might be using for that sort of stuff in the home environment? The network has Linux, Windows, Chromebox and Android devices along with a number of smart TV's. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Cheers, Mark
