With nice, 20 is the lowest priority, 0 is the base, and -20 is the highest.
that's right - it is because with nice you tell it 'how nice to be'. when you
ask a process to have a level 20 of niceness, it will be VERY nice and the
kernel will let other processes in front of it. If you say, this process will
have a negative value of niceness, it isn't very nice at all ;)

Reading disclaimers makes you go blind. Writing them is worse. You have been
