I have found nothing \like this. In fact 7.2 has been absolutely outstanding for me. The network performance increase was enough to make my day. As for your performance issues im sure you just need to tweak your kernel.

I was expecting NOT to notice, though, as I last ran 6.2 on a PIII 500, but am now running 7.2 on a AMD K7 1.2Ghz w/256 mb ram... I expected it to scream! It IS faster, though, now that I have upgraded the kernel to 2.4.9-12, and force the controler into ata66 mode! This made me have to recompile VMWare Express, for which there is a patch, but I noticed that it compiled for 686, and it is a tad faster than before, too. The only problem I have now is sound, but that's another thread! --Jon On Mon, 2001-11-12 at 02:00, Gustav Schaffter wrote: > Then I'll have to chime in a 'me too'. > > I've done an upgrade on three PC's.
