I just downloaded 5.0 last week and I've a pretty little dual PPro sitting here that needs to be ridden hard. It has lots of spare drives and Linux is already on one, so this will be a nice box for playing with different distros and what not. Now I just need an altix... Even a little one would do. Now how do I convince the powers that be where I work that we have a need for an 8 to 64 way SMP monster box? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
