quote:the power of linux and opensource, is the -O6 flag on gcc, or if that barfs the code up -O4 flay, ifit still doesn't work -O3 and if that doesn't run, fuck it -O2, and youll only start seeing the speed when you compile the source for things

So what the heck is -06, -04 etc. anyways? How does the compiling work exactly, do you have to modify alot of the sourcecode, or does the compiler somehow know what your system has and automatically optimizes it? If it does, then it would seem rather simple to compile your own sources, as long as you had some directions...
