Thanks. It just concerned me that in the online discussion of low
latency patches, there was lots of "which one is better." The only
discussion of *both* was in the linked-to threads from the LKML,
where it was discussed back in 2001 that they were in-principle
compatible and *could* be combined. I knew that all this stuff,
plus the O(1) scheduler, had made it into 2.6; but I'm holding off
on 2.6 until 1) I see a nice "how to transition from 2.4. to 2.6"
guide, and 2) I stop seeing so many complaints about getting things
to work under 2.6 here and in debian-user. I use this machine for
too much time-critical stuff to hunt for kernel installation stuff
just now . . .
Anyway, I patched my 2.4.23 with both and will boot it later today.
Thanks again.
