11 <p>Various recent distributions, notably Redhat 9 and Fedora Core 1, come with a new thread library, <a href="http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nptl-design.pdf">NPTL</a> which will not work with JDK 1.4.0 or less. If you use one of these distributions, ensure you've installed JDK 1.4.1 or better for best results. |

15 <p>The development series 2.5 (currently 2.6-testX) introduced a number of new disk I/O schedulers. The default has been changed to be the anticipatory scheduler. Whilst the performance of this scheduler is generally good, there may be occasions where it affects Blitz's performance. Thus, for performance testing purposes it's worth comparing performance of the default scheduler with that of the deadline scheduler.</p> |

51 <p>Note the <code>MULTICAST</code> attribute in the third line of the eth0 properties. If this is not present, it's possible that your kernel has not been compiled with multicast support. <em>But</em> before re-compiling the kernel try enabling multicast on your network interface (<code>eth0</code> in this case) via <code>ifconfig</code>:</p> |
