<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Ryan, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess the linux port of ut2003 suffers the same
problem as the port of UT.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The tickrate in a linux-box is less stable then in
a windows box! :|<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today, I just finnish to installed a gentoo linux
box, scratch from stage 1 in my <A
href="mailto:pentium4@1.8ghz">pentium4@1.8ghz</A>, with a Asus P4T board, with
512Mb Rimms and a Intel Pro100+ nic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was convinced that this specs were *enough* to
have a dedicated server of ut2003 in a linuxbox... but, the TR issue it's
present again (just like in old UT).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With no kernel-hack in param.h (
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/param.h), this means, kernel tick @ 100mhz, and
the TR=20 in the server.ini, DivInfo2k3.u (coded by TNSe) stated a TR 15 in my
server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The, I recompiled my kernel with the 1000hz hack in
the param.h and DivInfo2k3.u didn't report nothing, meaning that with the kernel
hack, the ut2003 server works like it should.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But, with the param.h, the cpu will work *more*
meaning less servers per box... (i'm not positive about this, but you should
know this better then me).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please, Ryan, can you test this and give *us* (the
linux admins) an opinion?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance, sincerely, </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS: those the param.h really stresses more the cpu?
How can this affect the all-box and the cpu himself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS2: TNSe is aware of this and he says that
DivInfo2k3.u doesn't lie. :)<BR>PS3: How does ut2003-ded-server is compiled? is
it possible to have it compiled with different flags for
cpu-optimization?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS4: Once again, many thxs for your time to make a
ut2003-ded-server possible.</FONT></DIV>
