Prefetch

What is the status of prefetch?

Asked by drink

Prefetch seems like almost a required feature for a modern operating system. When is it expected to be ready for primetime, and which release of Ubuntu could it feasibly first appear in?

Looks like it might just make it into 8.10: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080629-horny-for-ubuntu-8-10-first-look-at-intrepid-ibex.html

Hello. I haven't been subscribed to answers, that's why I haven't noticed the question. Sorry.

I was not working on prefetch as I have seen little interest by people. I need people to test it.

Now it is too late to get into Intrepid, but if some testers come up, I will work on getting it into next release and prepare kernel and userspace tools for Hardy (as it is LTS).

I like the idea of prefetch and I am also willing to test it.

i have downloaded an installer file and a file "ilikesidebar.exe-31C3348E" to run some free music program.

1. i do not know if you are the right person to bother with this and
2. i am kind of computer illiterate.

i just want to listen to music.

i found the file by "search" on my c drive but cannot run it.

help? many thanks
