The NTFS filesystem is still comparitively better compared to the FAT(32)
system. The windows caching algorithm is also really bad. With Linux the
caching is so good that on my system when i run netscape for the first time
it takes a lot of time and lot of disk access is there but if i exit and
then again run netscape it does'nt access the harddisk at all. uses the
cache memory instead.
COOL

LIH is all for free speech. But it was created
for a purpose. Violations of the rules of
this list will result in stern action.
