My experiments with Linux: Custom kernel 2.6.38.1 ubuntu amd64 packages

Saturday, March 26, 2011

Custom kernel 2.6.38.1 ubuntu amd64 packages optimized for core2 and above processors

Kernel 2.6.38.1 amd64 ubuntu packages optimized for core2 and above built by me and uploaded to dropbox for anyone who would like to test.

The files can be downloaded from the following links and can be checked against the SHA256SUM and MD5SUM given at the bottom of this blog to verify if the correct file is downloaded

Benchmarks output of hardinfo -r when running 2.6.38.1
