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 them....and installed Gentoo 1.4 from stage 3....with 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. This session would have survived at least 3 reboots. This system is behind my firewall and I have no reason to think it has been hacked.....and why would nano be using 50% of the CPU anyway? -- Steve Withers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
