Richard, Thank you for the link. I think I will go for the Ubuntu desktop, since CFQ i/o scheduling, preemptible kernel, and 250Hz timer tick interrupt will give me a more responsive interactive user environment.
Pablo Manalastas P.S. Are you the Richard Paradies of http://www.linkedin.com/pub/5/15b/a40? If you are, then you should check out the Ateneo web site, www.ateneo.edu. This year Ateneo is celebrating its sesquicentennial (150-year anniversary). In 1961-65, Ateneo did not yet have women (coeds), no BS Computer Science, but I think you had Latin. Did you have debating class in Latin? I did mathematics (MS 1977-79, PhD 79-82) there. It is good to hear from a 60s Atenean. --- On Fri, 4/24/09, Richard Paradies <[email protected]> wrote: > The server kernel has the deadline io scheduler.
