Description Cory Visi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-17 00:43:13 UTC
I have spoken to Con and he would really appreciate an update to the description of his patchset.  Furthermore, as an avid supporter and user of his patchset, I can definitely vouch for the new wording.  I would also appreciate the update to the text.

URL: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml

Original Text:
ck-sources is Con Kolivas's kernel patch set. This kernel is HIGHLY tuned for desktop performance at the expense of throughput and some of the scheduler's ability to prioritize applications. Con Kolivas benchmarks kernels to find the best combination of features for desktop use. See http://kernel.kolivas.org for more information on Con and his patches.

Recommended New Text:
ck-sources is Con Kolivas's kernel patch set. This patchset designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity configurable to any workload (which is beneficial to many types of machines, not just desktops.) It is a mature routine and has been through numerous iterations of development and tuning.  The emphasis of each release is on stability and security.  Support is regularly available in #ck at irc.oftc.net.

Let me know if you need clarification on any of this. Thanks!

ck-sources patch

The patch will modify the ck-sources section as requested by Cory. I've
modified it slightly to blend in with the docs.

Fixed the patch so that we don't lose the URL, which is still good.

Fixed in CVS. Thanks!
