Right now I'm running cvsup, re-building the locate database, and ``make all'' in linux_base, all while listening to Jeff Beck in xmms with no scratchy sounds, skipping, or drop out. This is on a K6-233/64MB and top(1) is showing the load average as 1.5 - 2.0 and xmms using ~23% CPU. One thing: I'm using the OSS sound driver in xmms with a 7000ms buffer and 90% pre-buffer. > > 4.4 - The number of the Beastie > > Ah, that's what Iron Maiden meant when they sang "the one for You and Me." ;) > > Thanks, > > Tom > > Thomas A.
