Re: Compile a Kernel

 

Hi Jim,

I just installed Fedora Core 12 which uses Kernel 2.6.31

Amazingly enough, everything works fine right out of the box, webcam included. I am really surprised, I'll give you that. 
I'm even more surprised that flash video works better in Linux then it does in Windows (I have a 3810TZ).
Suspending and resuming works flawlessly. 

I really don't know what to say. I have not run into any problems so far. 

It is as if I just woke up in a beautiful Linux dream :-)


I don't know if I can get a better performance with a compiled Kernel, but I will find out and post any results.

Hugo,
I guess the only thing I would add to this is that you might want to work with >= 2.6.31. I think I remember Ubuntu 9.04 (2..6.29?) working very well also.

If you do compile, would you mind posting your results? Or a .config if you do find a nice one?
