Ahhhhh...magnifico...

+1 on the improvement. Many thanks to Agent Kith. 

It's my pleasure. Don't expect an improvement every release though.. At the end of the day, none of this really makes any sense and it's all done by trial and error.. Errors are bound to happen.

 

I'm keen to be involved with kernel rolling.

Still an idea at the moment, waiting on spinning up a new server to do this (for security reasons). The idea (pipe dream) is:

1. User goes to a Snakeoil website
   
2. User gets presented a web page
   
3. User gets a choice of kernels to choose from, and a list of options (e.g. he may want to enable CPUFreq, a network card, or a particular USB or audio card)
   
4. User submits his request -> Server will do it's thing -> server sent an email to the user when the kernel is ready,
   
5. User download the kernel, applies the kernel (I'm thinking of automating this straight into the Snakeoil WebApp), and reboot
   
6. Viola, kernel rolling is done.
   

This is the server method. But it cost money. The alternative is to do all this inside the Snakeoil OS itself. But it gets harder to share their builds (they can block this if they want)..

Doing this via a public server means any kernels built can be shared by others - and nobody gets to keep their secret receipes for themselves.

 

I've played with CPUset and would really like it if this feature was advanced to allow us to individually assign a CPU to each process. Someone on this forum showed an example interface but I just can't find that post anymore. 

Future releases will improve on that I think. It just gets complicated real quickly hence the reason for keeping it simple for now. Until then, SSH into the system directly, create more CPU sets and further isolate the processes.

AK; did you hear the CPUset effect with LMS/SL? and do you only have 2 CPUs?

The only effect I have is the speed (and improved 'blackness', for a lack of better term).. And yes, this is with LMS/SL... What other effects did you hear?

And yes to only 2 CPU cores... It's an old Jetway after all.
