Indeed, I'm now running the Mandrake Club preemptable kernel with the low latency patch. I think they also removed XFS due to a potential problem. I can still cause jerkiness with high disk IO though ( nice -n +19 cp -a /usr/src/linux .) which is a shame considering I'm running on a 2.something GHz machine with loads of memory. -- Alex Bennee Senior Hacker, Braddahead Ltd The above is my personal opinion and probably not the opinion or policy of my employer
