"Working perfectly" depends on your usage.
If some here tells you "yes" (or "no"), without asking for

I'm building a few systems using dual core Atom processors, and
have noted that when the system boots up it says it has four CPUs:
2 actual cores and 2 virtual ones. But performance is a bit
unsteady, and I'm wondering if it's going to be better to turn
hyperthreading off.

Hi!
I am unable to figure how vncserver is being launched during "local package

Can anyone help or point me in right direction to figure where my vncserver
is being launched from?
I need to change my vnc root window size.
Thanks,
