This is what I guess, yes. And this is where help would be appreciated !

Thanks Otto, for the head-up. I can always offer an account on that box
that runs about 5% off once it is public, to a developer. The current one,
that is around 100% off, I also can; but it won't run mp for obvious
reasons. It is already in production. And with the advice on selecting
hardware; it is not always me, firstly, to decide. Secondly, I 'slept'
when I got the first box and saw those ugly tens of thousands of seconds
ntpd wanted to correct. I mistakenly assumed a problem on the BIOS side,
because we sit at UTC+8:00 and I thought it wanted to sync to the BIOS. Me
stupid. 
I wonder if one day we shall end up on Linux here ? As I had mentioned
in that earlier thread, Knoppix runs the 2 cores perfectly well. 
I'd rather not,

Uwe
