For the past few days I have been doing some serious ranting about the 2.6.X series kernel. My intentions were not to start a "flame" war, but to draw attention to the fact that certain things did not work as "advertised"
I made every attempt to show my situation, and to post results that were not made up or falsely attained.
I really wanted to get more input about this situation, though I have generated some good/positive replies. (I.E. 1, which was good about waiting for the 2.6.X kernel to mature a bit more.. ) .. That was fair.
Anyhow, please if you are having issues, try some of the things I have tried and get the results. If this continues to be an issue I will definatley bring this to the attention of the kernel maintainers and developers. I just want to see Linux advance without all the false benchmarks and negative advertising .. about how great it is proportedly supposed to be. That is just like Micro$oft's nefarious ways..
I am seriously angry though, because I have done my research, and everything has pointed me to discussions and interviews with these maintainers that say 2.6.X as a desktop kernel outperforms a 2.4.X kernel by over 3-X's. and yes.. I am positive they said "Desktop" not, servers.. yes I know that the servers running say apache are supposed to be awesome, I am not hear to benchmark apache.. I run gaming clients.. and I want speed and performance.. I have barely anything in my kernel, and if I do it is probably modularized. I dont wish to overclock.. but that is a different story..
Anyhow..
I have seen different... and like I said before.. this is across a network with multiple Linux clients, and a plethora of different processors and makes/models.
As I get results.. even from newer ... less "mature" kernels, I will post my results and try to get to the bottom of this issue to maybe join the ranks of others who proclaim the power of the 2.6.X kernels.
Please bear with me.
Once again.. I apologize.. I am dreadfully sorry.
Thank you
Sincerely,
P.S. sorry if my spelling is so poor.. Thunderbird only picks up so much.. 8-)
