    Re: HOWTO: Make Linux Faster and Smoother!

    Thanks for the references. I don't have any questions about 1. or 4., but I have some doubt about 2. and 3. For 2., I just don't see any reason to think that disabling an unused service will have a...

    Re: HOWTO: Make Linux Faster and Smoother!

    What reasons are there to think that the changes you recommend improve the operation of a Linux system? What tests have you performed, and how did they come out?

    Re: HOWTO: Compile the latest ffmpeg and x264 from source

    If you have an AMD 64-bit system, here is something I just stumbled on that might be useful. In compiling x264, the linker told me I should use "-fPIC" and recompile common/x86/cabac-a.o. But that...
