BTDT, The problems I've found is that X-Chat segfaults like crazy! That
and glade does it occationally.
One thing that i've found weird that seems to be recurring every so
often with Linux is taht network connections start slowing down every
few kernel releases. The 6.2 comes with 2.2.14-5.0 for the kernel
release. 6.1 didn't lag on me when doing downloads while 6.2 is. I've
attempted a custom kerenl compile adding only the absolute barest that I
need to operate and thus no fancy shmancy addins. Still get the lag on
about 3 out of every 5 downloads.
What do i define as lag, you say? Simple. Reduced download speeds (loss
of about 5 to 11KB/s (using DSL here)), lagged connections meaning
longer than normal times to connect to known sites. (Averages about 5 to
10 seconds, and an added average of 3 to 5 seconds to send an email.
What's changed in my setup? Nothing other than upgraded pacakges from
6.1 to 6.2, use of the default kernel and in an attempt to fix the
sluggishness, a rebuild of the kernel to bare minimums for my system.
My current system is as follows.
Intel PII 450
IBM 300GL motherboard
192MB of Viking PC100 RAM
1 4.3GB W.D IDE drive
1 3.2GB Fujitsu IDE drive
Voodoo3 3000 PCI IDE video card
Netgear 10/100 NIC (DEC chipset)
ESS 1869 AudioDrive
48X Cyber IDE CDROM
