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.
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?
