Thanks, I'm not entirely sure what man page to read to find how to do a
preferences.d, I just tried man preferences.d. The list of man pages for
section five is huge so I'd appreciate a hint.
I added deb-src because I am a programmer and I occasionally play around
with making my own patches though nothing release worthy. I also built my
own kernel trading off some throughput for latency with voluntary kernel
preemeption and I also raised the interrupt timer to 1000hz, I wish such a
kernel was in apt-get.
