[kernel] Linux Kernel with BFS

By Chirag Anand On December 30, 2010 · 12 Comments · In chirag, geek, kernel

A couple of weeks back (at FOSS.in), I got to know (courtesy Shanky) about BFS (brain fuck scheduler) for Linux, read about it and found it quite interesting. The idea is to be fair to every process and give each an equal share of the processor time. It does so by using one shared run [...]

So, I have finally configured “mutt“, the terminal based email client on my Slackware 13.1. I have been thinking of doing this since ages (same with other things, pending since ages).

Broadcom Wireless Driver Again…

By Chirag Anand On July 28, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In chirag, driver, kernel, linux
