it is only optimized for i586. scheduling for i586 helps the pentium
classic and pentium classic mmx. it worsens performance on i686,
e.g., pentiumpro, pentium-ii/iii, celeron, &c. thus the "or better"
part of your statement is false. it also worsens performance for i386

Subject: (Newbie) Mandrake 7.2 less buggy than Red Hat 7.0?
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2000 14:50:57 -0000
I'm about to select my first Linux/UNIX OS and have narrowed-down the choice
to Mandrake 7.2 or Red Hat 7.0. I've heard Red Hat 7.0 is buggy. Is Mandrake
therefore more stable? Are there any significant differences between the 2?
I tend towards the ease of use end of the spectrum as I want to concentrate
on Perl development not OS expertise.
Also, can I run Apache for desktop development with both of these options? I
read somewhere that Mandrame 7.2 is designed for the desktop, not the
server, but I understand by this that I will still be able to use it as a
desktop development environment with Apache but not as a server machine.
Please correct if this isn't the case.
Thanks

My guess is it's a DNS problem. Try commenting out the "nameserver" in

I am running RH Linux 7.0 on an HP Kayak, which has

I don't think a ram-disk has to have a file system; you can copy
images to a ram-disk. If you copied a 1MB image to '/dev/ram0'
then overwrote it with a 10MB image the ram-disk size would change
to accomodate the new image.
When making a filesystem you have to give a size parameter; do not
confuse the two. I have never heard of a dynamic filesystem;
but their just might be one.

Ther is t3d, which is part of the standard xscreensaver package, it's an
ANALOGUE 3D clock made up of balls that wobble about, the balls form the hands
and the hour and minute minute markers etc.. I don't believe that this is
included with the standard KDE screensaver, and I don't know if it can be
