29.2.04 22:48 Linux and slow internet connection/browsing (

)

Linux: since month I'm wondering why internet browsing on my linux box is slow. Actually it was not really slow, konqueror loads fast but it takes sometimes until it starts loading a page. Opera was fast all the time.

Today I discovered on the Suse mailing list that also other had the same problem. It is due to ipv6 activation. To disable it, you can modify the /etc/modules.conf file. Just uncomment

alias net-pf-10 ipv6

and comment in the line

alias net-pf-10 � � � � � off

Now everything should be faster.

22.2.04 11:55 Kernel 2.6 migration experience (

)

I moved my laptop to 2.6 the day when 2.6.0 went out. I've used rpm's provided by suse. I didn't have big problems, most of the system run well after the update. Problems I had: usb automount, sound, wmware.

I could solve most of thoss problems by reading articles posted by other users. Here is a list of good articles:

Thomer M. Gil: Migrating to Linux Kernel 2.6. RedHat 9, hotplug, sysfs file system, wlan, sound ( Intel 810 + ac 97), VmWare
Armin: LINUX KERNEL 2.6 FAQ.
Dave Jones: The post-halloween document
Asim Shankar: Migrating from 2.4 to 2.6. Fedora Core 1, USB Module Name Changes, sysfs, alsa (Intel i810), nvidia
