That makes the data /higly/ suspect: Most of the Linux users I know wouldn't know where to start to compile a kernel, forget about patching around. And of the minority who can, they mostly run machines in production, and won't dream of using non-distribution kernels, let alone custom patched ones. BTW, where do you get the "twice as fast" number from? -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513
