Re: Network performance 6.0 with netperf

2005-10-20 Thread Michael VInce
Here is my probably final round of tests that I thought could possible be useful to others. I have enabled polling on the interfaces and discovered some of the master secret holy grail sysctls that really make this stuff work. I now get over 900mbits/sec router performance with polling.

libcrypto.so.2 missing in compat4x

2005-10-20 Thread Petr Holub
Hi all, I've installed compat4x from package (compat4x-i386-5.3_2) on my 6.0RC1 there is no libcrypto.so.2, which is used by quite a few of my legacy 4.x apps. I've checked 5.4 and this library used to be part of compat suite in /usr/lib/compat. Is it feature or bug? Thanks, Petr

I think that's unfair. I have a couple of Dell machines and my biggest complaint with them has been their use of proprietary bolt patterns for their motherboards and similar tomfoolery, preventing you from migrating their hardware as your needs grow. This also guarantees that your $75 power
