Me too. I find that apps which took a while to load, like Applix,
Netscape etc. now load at least twice as fast. The increase in speed
cannot entirely be attributed to UDMA transfers since I have used

My roommate and I noticed that it booted up much faster. Probablly
because of the new PCI ide driver, and the bus mastering support but my

You won't see much improvements in performance for a machine

OK, so it might not have been the one-off I t
I haven't seen any big differences in performance yet, but there are

2.2.0 will be available in deb packages, Real Soon Now (tm), I'm
sure. Since slink is now in 'frozen' status,
FWIW, I've compiled 2.2.1 without problems and it seems to be running
perfectly under hamm on both a desktop Cyrix DX486/100 and a laptop
Toshiba 4000CDT.
The only change I had to make, following on another message in this list,
was to change my /etc/printcap to use /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1.

Use bunzip2 (in the bzip2 package). And get 2.2.1 instead of 2.2.0. For

Get bz2cat/bunzip/bzip2, from the bzip2 package.
bz2cat will decompress to stdout, much like zcat. Useful for patches

Wow... I've been running a nice, solid, stable pair of 2.0.34 and 2.0.36

Dev kernels are works in progress, and have a tendancy to be very
unstable and can occasionally do nasty things.
