Comment on timeout: send a signal to a process after some time by JM https://debaday.debian.net/2009/09/20/timeout-send-a-signal-to-a-process-after-some-time/#comment-158308 JM Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:32:12 +0000 https://debaday.debian.net/?p=548#comment-158308 If you want to limit the overall children session duration, you should probably use timeoutd instead (with a final D). Unfortunately you'll have to apply a patch to make it run correctly in Lenny but it is easy to do: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522233 If you want to limit the overall children session duration, you should probably use timeoutd instead (with a final D).

I'm not saying you should choose lbzip2 over other compressor families. For your LZMA related needs, you may want to check out llzip-0.02, downloadable from my site. It is a compressor-only lzip parallelization, based on lbzip2 and lzlib. Antonio Diaz Diaz, author of lzip, goaded me to write it :) @ Samat Jain, November 12th, 2009 at 6:17 pm:

Although I have a SSD (Vertex). If your looking for a fast text editor with some features for programmers (syntax hiliting, etc...), try 'nedit'. It's not GTK (or at least not gtk2 based) so it's got a bit less overhead. Starts as fast as leafpad for me (but once again SSD here). mousepad is also another choice if your looking for something similar to notepad.exe If you want a full but lite IDE then I recommend geany. (also starts as fast as leafpad, I guess if you want a fast text editor, buy a $300 harddrive ☺) gedit starts in under a second for me too. Although I have a SSD (Vertex).
