Desktop-Kernel

 

kernel-desktop is a package for Fedora Core 2 distribution. It's the base Fedora kernel with some desktop related additions.

 

These additions are related to:

 

- Performance (Interactivity)

- Simplification of desktop usage (Supermount)

 

What does it provide?

kernel-desktop is the base Fedora kernel plus:

 

- Con Kolivas patchset : http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel

 

- Supermount-ng : http://supermount-ng.sf.net

 

- NTFS read-only driver

 

- Config HZ to 1000Hz

 

- Staircase CPU scheduler : http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/

 

- Auto-Swappiness : http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/

 

Provides some good stuff, as soon as it's done downloading I'll be testing it ;-)

 

Figured I would add GYUM in this post too.

 

GYUM

 

Graphical Yum, Looks interesting, I haven't used it cause ah well I'm not big on gui stuff but good for some. ;)

SM? :unsure:

what was wrong with what already worked?

[jlc]

Yeah, I don't get why he added sm when there is already an automount in fc2??

 

Here is a yum entry:

 

[kernel-desktop]
name=Desktop enhanced kernel
baseurl=http://apt.bea.ki.se/kernel-desktop/fedora/linux/2/i386/kernel-desktop

I also found a nother kernel thats for debian I think. I don't even know if its linux.

The HURD was RIchard Stallmans Idea, he wanted to use that but was smoking to much crack and Linus beat him to the Free OS.

I do believe the kernel has made a diff for this slower box I use at work. Doesn't seem to slow down like it was before.
