Oh, and have we done any benchmarking on the Ubuntu kernel with PAE turned off vs. on? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/845637 (parent: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/845514, thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/843866) has some fairly excoriating comments, noting that it slows down little things like fork() fairly significantly.
It makes sense to me to offer a clear choice between non-PAE and PAE (I certainly understand why people might well not want to jump to amd64 given the pain around compatibility libraries, although note that we're actually putting serious effort into multiarch now), and I have no issues with doing that; it'll help some users and satisfy OEMs. I just question whether we should be setting PAE as the default. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- Ubuntu-installer mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-installer
