I've heard recent rumours of a six second       kernel compile. I am nowhere near that with 2|4|6|8 penguins on the various       machines I currently have at my disposal the fastest one being a 6 penguin       4.1GHz cpu. I haven't timed it but I am positive it would be minutes and not       seconds. As we speak I have a 5.7.14 kernel running on there. The newest       5.8.1 still has issues with graphics but is better than 5.8.0 which didn't       work at all.               BP> i had forget to turn off multilib              I haven't done a multilib since about 2005. Way too much work for absolutely       no good reason ... unless of course you enjoy crippling machines.               BP> i have a slackware at home running on atom cpu, not impressed              I have 2 at the moment. Neither is running any distribution. They are both       customized console only linux-gnu development systems with one running       wireless access to the internet for so-called smartphones in the       neighbourhood. They work great for what they are intended to do and both can       and do take care of themselves.               BP> its wild enough that graphics cards have now more memory then my        BP> first amiga harddisk              Also power consumption. Personally I have no use for those and the closest I       come to that is a generation 9 i5-9400 with it's builtin IntelĀ® UHD Graphics       630. This is the one that has issues with the newest 5.8 kernels. I am using       it to test console based framebuffer graphics with mplayer's "-vo fbdev2"       switch.              Life is good,       Maurice              ... Don't cry for me I have vi.       --- GNU bash, version 5.0.18(1)-release (x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu)        * Origin: Pointy Stick - Ladysmith BC, Canada (1:153/7001.2989)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 120/340 123/130 153/7001 154/10 30 40       SEEN-BY: 154/50 700 203/0 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/101 310       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 616 664 240/77 5138 5832 5853 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 280/464 5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 2432/390       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 2454/119 3634/12 5020/545       PATH: 153/7001 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
