I recently bought a (used) Dell Latitude
D600. On this page I intended to describe what I do to get
my operating system of choice,
FreeBSD, to work
properly with it. But in reality, this page seems to be more of a list
of things that Just Works™ ...
I use FreeBSD 5.5, since neither I nor anyone else has ported
Arla
to version 6.x yet.
Apparently, I'm on the scene. I went to
deadline
harakiri to take a look, mainly since elmindreda, Dicander,
Psychad and some other people reawoke my interest in 3d graphics and the
demo scene in general.
After seeing the entries of the PC/Mac Demo compo — some of
them were really good — Psychad announsed / reminded that the
deadline for PHP demo was at 02:00. And at about 1:45, Dicander had
convinced me to participate. As I didn't have a computer with me I went to
my workplace 400 meters away to code it ...
Ok, I didn't make it on time, but I did have it ready before 03, when
the PHP demos was supposed to be shown on the big screen, and Psychad
allowed me in. So here it is:
I did a small performance test of gcc 3.4 compared to
earlier versions. I think it is safe to say that standard c++
iostreams performance is greatly improved in gcc 3.4.
