Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    For the curious ones the machine is a 2001 IBM Thinkpad T22 with 20Gb of HDD, 256 Mb of RAM and an Intel Pentium 3 @ 900MHz.

    I recently discovered emerge --jobs 8 --load-average 8 instead of just make -j8. Not gonna help much on a 900MHz pentium, but it has really sped up my build times.

    I have to set -j1 because of low ram. Yes I can just increase swap space to "add more RAM" but it will be swap on a 2001 HDD so it's slow as hell
