Re: Sane - Mustek scanner
To everybody who helped with solving my scanner problem - thanks a lot. My Mustek (12000SP) now runs great under Linux - Gimp especially. And the solve was to buy a new controller NCR810 based as recomended in the Sane-papers and of cource another cable - price - almost the half of what a new SCSI-scanner costs. Just bad luck - but now it runs and I am hahhy Mogens Jæger
Re: Dual processor
The dual processor part is handled in the kernel. I have a dual PII 266 Mhz which I am very happy with. Linux does a great job handling the two processors equally. I have done tests and my dual PII 266 goes about as fast as a PII 450 Mhz single. Part of that might be because I am using an IDE drive and a 33 Mhz mother board. Other than that I have been very happy with the performance especialy when it comes to doing graphics manipulation. Mogens Jæger wrote: Hey there. I am planning a upgrade of my machine, so I am trying to find out, if I can have any advantage of a dual processor system, because it actually is cheaper with a dual Celleron 500 MHz as a 700 MHz Athlon/AMD or PIII, and I have 256 Mb PC100 RAM, which will be to slow for these machines! I have read the FAQ's on the Gimp homepage, but I can't find any thing about support for multiple processors - does anybody know if the Gimp support dual/multi processors?

Re: Dual processor
While that is correct that multiple processors are handled by the OS itself, assuming this is the entire answer is incorrect. The Application itself has to be written to take advantage of this function. Unless GIMP has multithreading built into it, it will not take advantage of multiple processors, even if the OS can.
