I am currently running kernel 2.0.36 in my slink system. Would there be any advantages to upgrading my kernel? If so what version would be a good (stable) version to which to upgrade? Are there any good reasons not to upgrade?
[Very OT]... While I'm asking slightly vague questions: I noticed on the issue of mindcraft finding that NT was a faster web server than Linux, that someone said that whichever of the two OSs that was installed on the outside (ie further radially from the spindle) of the disk would have a 2.5ish times performance advantage. I have win95 and linux partitions on the same disk, and would like my linux performance to be maximised. Would I see a performance increase if I made sure my linux partition was on the outside of my disk? Would I be even better putting my swap partition as far out as possible? If so, which end of the partition table corresponds to to the outside of the disk? Cheers Rich
