Richy, I don't believe it is "difficult" to do on Linux/Fedora, just have to set the kernel option and recompile. This does consume time though. In FreeBSD I just set kern.hz="200" in /boot/loader.conf, and reboot :).
Also, Richy: We were considering running Fedora 2, and 64bit, but turned away due to the fact AM/AMX/MetaMod/HLGuard/Statsme are not compiled for 64bit. Are you running no mods, did you compile them for 64bit yourself, or did you find a 64bit version that I could not? :) -Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richy Fennell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 3:02 PM Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Re: Opteron / 64bit > Is it easy to change the HZ setting?
