title: 'Preempt: Back in Business'
---
<p>
I gave the <a
href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/preempt-kernel/">preempt-kernel
patch</a> another shot today. This time it seems to be working properly
on my system. I also posted a combined "meta-patch" against 2.4.17
vanilla of all the junk I've got in my kernel; you can check it out <a
href="/download/kernel-patches/">here</a>.
</p>
<p> I gave up
on WinCE and installed <a
href="http://familiar.handhelds.org/">Familiar Linux</a> on my iPaq.
It's not fully functional yet, but so far it looks promising. Any
distribution that comes with <a
href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/">Ruby</a> in it's base distribution is
okay in my book. On a side note, I should mention that the people in
<i>#handhelds.org</i> (<a
href="http://www.openprojects.net/">OpenProjects</a> IRC)have been
incredibly helpful; I would probably still be trying to connect to my
iPaq in Linux if it weren't for their help.
