Tanks for the update,Nordi, maye it is time to try 10.3 then. Is there any plan to refresh the GM, so we do not need to patch up so much. Redhat updates their distro CDs/DVDs from time to time. |However, comparing results to 10.0 shows that overall, the |performance of the base system is still not as good as it |could be, at least in this benchmark. Suse 10.0 still scores |higher in most areas. Since the syscall test scores are ~12% |lower than in 10.0, it seems logical that the slowdown is due |to the kernel. It would be interesting to see if the vanilla |kernel suffers from the same slowdown or if this is specific to Suse. If you look at the repositories you can find nightly build kernels you can test, They are mostly vanilla + default suse kernel settings http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dipe/openSUSE_10.3/ (just remember the relevant kernel-source :-) I've not yet updated to 10.3 but for 10.2 they all have worked fine when I've upgraded apart from standard kernel related gotchas, like nvidia-drivers, mb-chipsets, but all those problems have been easily resolved searching the net. -- MortenB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
