[gentoo-user] Gentoo SLOW with Seti@home
I have two AMD 2200+ systems with 512MB or RAM. I run the Linux command line [EMAIL PROTECTED] client on both. Both systems used to be Red Hat Linux 9. Both system used to process work units in about 3:30 minutes. Then...I wiped Red hat on one of themand installed Gentoo 1.4 from stage 3with AMD optimisations. I also installed/compiled Xfree and KDE and a couple of other things - but not much. Now...the Red hat 9 system still does 6-7 WUs / day. But the Gentoo system only does 3. The CPU times used is still 3:30.but each WU takes twice as long. When I ran TOP, I found a root session was running nano - at 50% CPU - continuously.

Every once and a while an app will just start spinning and kill off your CPU with it. However, I highly doubt that it survived 3 reboots without being restarted somehow. After a reboot, running apps die, so if it was running again it was started somehow I'd think. That's what I thoughtbut when i first noticed Seti effectively running at 50% of capacity, I thought it might be some sort of racing kernel issue.and I re-booted the system for a couple of days to se if it made any difference. It didn't appear to. I did not run TOPprobably because it was late. I usually check the seti farm just before going to bed. I then checked to see if the KDE screen saver was interfering. I usually have it set to low CPU and a blank screen only. That looked perfectly normal. Finallyrunning TOP occurred to me and when I did, I saw a root session running nanoand i could not recall having logged in as root and run nano any time in the past few days. But I can't rule it out as I almost certainly would have adjusted the host name of the local portage mirror when the operator changed it. But when cycled through the various terminals, I was not connected to any login session.whatever it was, was running in the background. Do I have a clue how? Nope, not one.

BIG MISTAKE! When I ran an emerge sync, it started off OK...and i went on with other business on another PC. When i checked about an hour later, the silly thing was in the /FixDOS subdirectory or portage...and pulling down a dozen different staging files plus 3 full ISO images!!! I'm on a dataquota of 3 GB / month of international traffic. This silly thing just ate up about 600 MBs downloading stages and ISOs for non-intel platforms.

Thanks, Mark Mark The best way I have found to make Linux-based web browsing as functional as possible is to use the Crossover Plugin from www.codeweavers.com. It allows you to install and run - via Codeweavers' optimized WINE - most of the browser plugins that do not have Linux version. Windows Media Player 6.4 is supported. Though many web sites now don't work with anything but the DRM-protecting V7.1 or higher. But WMP 6.4 is great for playing MS *.avi files(not DIVX - Xine does that). Quicktime V6.0 would be an important one as Apple make no effort at all to support Linux..but Shockwave is another biggy. For Flash and RealPlayer, I use the Linux versions. It pretty much just worksand I've had it on my daughter's Red Hat 8.0 system for most of two years and it has proven as solid as a rock there..probably because her system is fairly static - it works and I leave it alone. -- Steve Withers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
