Re: [gnome-slackware]Packages optimisations for different architectures

[Jeffrey Kornuta <jak006 cox net>]

I think this would be a great idea; however, the Slackware distrobution
has always been an i386 distro and will probably remain that way for a
while. The only solution to this would probably to make a mirror
distrobution based on slackware but with all i686 packages. You might
want to check out Beehive Linux (http://www.beehive.nu) for a light and
fast i686 distro if you can't wait.

    Hi all!
    
    I am a *proud* GNOME 1.4 user running Slackware 8.0.
    
    I know the philosophy of Slackware is stability and simplicity. All the 
    gnome packages from the gtk1 disk are i386-optimized. I suggest, if one 
    have the time, to release i586 and/or i686 Gnome Slackware packages for 
    people running those kind of CPUs.
    
    An optimized package should deliver better performance and thus, a 
    better overall Gnome experience.
    
    That is just a suggestion. Feel free to flame me ;-)
    
    Later, Nic
