Hello, I have been experimenting with 2.4.9 but it appears to have a number of serious bugs (ide/scsi emulation seems not to work), certain programs won't run anymore..and so on.
Anyone have any opinion on the stability of 2.4.10 ?
I am talking about the mantel Suse versions.
What exactly do you mean by the "mantel SuSE versions"? I recently downloaded and installed the clean 2.4.10. 2.4.9 sucked for me: the hard drive would thrash when ripping a CD with cdda2wav (but with cdparanoia) and when burning a CD with cdrecord. Trying to do something beside CD burning would result in *filesystem corruption*. 2.4.4 (default SuSE 7.2) would cause cdrecord to freeeze the entire computer at random times. 2.4.10 fixed _all_ of these for me. I can burn an audio CD at 12X, run setiathome (uses 16MB of RAM), and run another terminal, all on a 233MHz with 32MB of RAM. It also raised my hard drive throughput by ~0.5MB :) Your mileage may vary... -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
