Quick stats of my system at the moment:
Hostname: ghreen - OS: Linux 2.6.0-test9.ghreen-meff1/i686 - CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 (2200.496 MHz) - Processes: 147 - Uptime: 9h 54m - Load Average: 0.24 - Memory Usage: 223.51MB/502.30MB (44.50%) - Disk Usage: 26.21GB/232.97GB (11.25%)
Being a avid nix and Debian users for years, after hearing that test10 would probably be the last test before the final release of 2.6.0, I got myself test9 and sat down for an hour or so getting my system all ready, and was ready to start my 2.6.0 test running.
Booted up flawlessly, and I must say, the difference in latency and general speed is quite big. I am very impressed. X11R6 is much more responsive, and the preempt patch from RML seems to be working great!
There is a new compiling system that is very clean and lets you know everything that is going on. I thought it was pretty cool, much better than just showing the standard gcc commands on the screen. This is a little feature but it is cool nontheless.
So far I've been running awhile, and even doing some 3D stuff with patched nVidia drivers for my graphics card. Seems pretty damn stable so far...
I encourage anyone that runs Linux and wants to help out with the bug-tagging to give it a ride.. And, let us know here what your experience is/was like.
Discuss.
