8 Hmm, even the 'gentoo-sources-workstation' would be not my favorite. I really
9 wonder why this patch-stuffed kernel is offered ? It is slow, buggy, barely
10 compiles if you switch off a set of options you dont want (low latency for
11 instance or preemtable kernel) and there is simply no performance boost. On
12 the contrary the thing is plain slow. There is also no 'snappiness' boost I
13 noticed, so why ???
14
15 If it would be an experiment to offer a better kernel, ok, but then some
16 conclusions ought to be taken.
