Re: Changing kernels
I have opensuse 11.0 on both laptop (with 1.2G of memory) and desktop (2G of memory). The PAE kernel installed on both, though neither has enough memory for it to matter.
I am not having any problems related to the PAE kernel. Maybe it is slower, but most of the cpu time should be spent running application code, not kernel code, so I'm doubting that it makes a big difference.

| Thanks very much for the info. I did some online research on PAE. I ve never messed about much with kernels leaving that pretty much to defaults.
In using the machine since I changed back to the default, I have noticed the desktop is more responsive and it seems that boot takes less time. Additionally a couple of my apps, most notably the VOIP client, that would not run under PAE, now run fine under the default. Still have not resolved the machine not seeing the last gig of the 4....still only 3 indicated but as one can imagine its pretty quick!!!
I dont know much at all about kernels.... less than a thimble full. Thanks very much to everyone here who has responded to this. I ve got some reading to do its evident.
Happy 4th of July
