Digested

My box is quite busy. Compiling various things, long running scripts, web server, etc. The 2.4 series kernel was stable, but the GUI experience was poor when things got busy. I upgraded to 2.6.5 (devfs RIP) and found it better, but under certain high load conditions the mouse would get jumpy with random mouse events thrown in to make things interesting. 2.6.7 is much better. Right now am recompiling KDE, apache working away in the background, and everything is smooth. Kmail is even better, not blocking as much with spamasassin. Nice.
