Kernels 2.6.30 are slow,what about making lighter machines, with hardware by apt-get?


Hello

Lot of people are complaining that the new kernels 2.6.>28 are very slow, compared to 2.4.18 or 2.6.24.

I mean one day those kernels will explode. We coded kernel modules to make hardware installable simply using firmware + apt-get. What are they waiting. We shall not place all new hardware in those kernels on the repositores, but try to add installable hardware using simply apt-get.

Do they wait that Linux gets as slow a microsoft. Alert.!!

Please coders, react positively for making Linux for everyone, fast, and excellent as it is.

Happy tux!

Because the kernel is used by other distros other then debian and its apt-get system... I am using a 2.6.30 kernel on my LFS system and its faster then a snowball melts in hell. My total boot time is 4 seconds. By firmware I am unsure what you mean since that's close source code?
