Re: the big jump forward

[William Lovaton <walovaton yahoo com mx>]

I've been testing this for a while on my machine.  I had to compile from
source because the rpm package dependes on glibc 2.4 and FC4 comes with
glibc 2.3.5.

The latest updates installed on my system are from September 20.

So far everything is working ok without any visible changes, yesterday I
had a "busy" day and I was running GEdit, FireFox, Evolution, Rhythmbox,
gnome-terminal, nautilus, gkrellm, abiword.

Memory wise I didn't see any difference either, gnome-system-monitor
showed a slightly bigger memory consumption for every program.  May be
the savings should be seen in the long run.

The only strange behavior I saw was that xfs took a bit longer to start
during boot, that's all.
