I've updated the PReP installation page. The images now contain a kernel
with pcnet32 support for the IBMers.
I also posted the patch versus official 2.2.9 and .config that was used to
build the images since people will want to rebuild the kernel if they are
using it.
I'll update them once we ha

Perhaps the question you should be asking yourself is not "how fast is
this computer" but "does it do what I want?" I've seen people buy
hideously overpowered machines and do nothing but write papers.
So, what do you want to do with it?

I had to erase my build of 3.9.15x to make space for the 3.3.x build *sigh* :(
I'll have a binary in a few hours if
Anybody who'd care to try? I just erased my XFree86 3.3.x tree.

That's probably not the solution neither. Some non-powermac PPC based
machines may need it (I beleive PReP uses a standard clock chip). One
would better fix the r
I've only seen posts showing statistical progress of our package
autobuilder on here, but it would be nice to query the system from a web
page and see where a package is in the queue. Maybe this already exists?
I ran into the bsdmainutils/utils-linux conflict which is already fixed in
an NMU for

FYI... I guess there's no longer a binary deb for tar 1.12 :-)

On x86 tech the CPU has only like very, very few registers, and so it
really needs the next instructions FAST, so a change on the system bus
makes a lot of a difference, but on RISC, that has lots of registers,
that might not be the case, isn't it?
That is what I need to find out, because

I am filled with an urge to vomit. I knew their had to be catch. I didn't
care that the screen was small. I didn't care that they looked kinda hokey.
I was still going to buy one so I could run linux on it and wow the females.

Hi,
I was wondering, what is the equivalent to a ppc 300Mhz? the ratio of
performance ? anyone knows?, and what is the impact of having a 66Mhz bus
on a risc architecture, because on a CISC architectur can be a super
downgrade on performance :)
