Linux Performance
Chris Evans
Oxfordshire Linux User Group
Computing Laboratory Lecture Theatre
Sunday 11th April, 6.30pm
The high performance of the Linux kernel is increasingly taken for
granted - it certainly gives other operating systems a run for their
money! However, this is hard to justify without impartial facts
and figures.
Chris Evans will present some new figures and also examine the
performance enhancements provided by the new Linux 2.2 kernel when
compared with 2.0. He'll also take a peek into the future at what
could be made yet faster!
Then there'll be a chance for general Linux discussion before we
adjourn to a nearby pub by 8.30pm.
The entrance to Comlab is from Parks Road and maps can be found at:

KDE vs Gnome
Jesus College, Oxford
6.15pm for 6.30pm
In the Red corner, the German contender. Now at release 1.1 and
showing real signs of maturity, KDE could be a real contender in
the linux desktop stakes. But in the Blue corner, all the way
from Mexico stands the Gnome, ready to take on all comers in
his (her?) 1.0 livery. Let the showdown commence!
Jo Dillon and Phil Armstrong will be demonstrating both KDE
and Gnome in all their finery - and hopefully extolling the
good points of both!
Then there'll be a chance to ask any other Linux questions you
have and we'll progress to a nearby pub no later than 8.30pm.
The entrance to Jesus College is in Turl Street.
