Hi all, Results for an IBM Thinkpad Z61p: not useable. Plus: the BIOS has been password locked. Can't change anything :-(

The lapy will be used in my workshop for browsing and music playing. It will not drive any cnc!

What were the latencies you got with mint?
tommylight already pointed out that debian is "a bit better" on latencies than mint. I observed the same when running the test on both mint (19.3 in my case) and debian buster (10.4 to 10.5) on the same machine.

Also Mint 19.3 XFCE is a bit better than Mint 19.3 Mate.
On two older laptops i can not get usable latency for a Mesa ethernet board with Preempt-RT and Mate, but i can get very usable latency with XFCE and same kernel.

Tom...
I had to go check that out and was some interesting reading about Ethereum. I had never really read about how it worked until seeing your post and had to go see what it was about.

Feel free to start a topic about crypto in the "off topic" section so we can have a go at it, it is very good stuff but humans are humans so on one side they left it unused and on the other side they are doing everything to make it even more useless due to lack of ideas.
