Hi,
is that "preload" also caching the files that it puts in its list?
if that's the case than this program would be a wonderful program to
have in fedora.
Assuming the program is doing the following: you just work on your
computer and that daemon is registering all files that you access. the
most used files(?) are getting cached at next boot right?
Yes thats how it works. It is all automated with the config files
under /etc The biggest benefit is that it updates itself.
It saves the list every 3600 seconds. Download the SRPM and give it a go
to get a better idea.
Cheers,
Marc
