I'm running the tests on a dual xeon @ 2.0 GHz and 1
GB RAM. Right now I'm doint the tests on slackware,
I'll just test the 2.4.26-kernel since 2.4 and 2.6 are
pretty close to each other. The following days I'll
test NetBSD 2.0, FreeBSD 4.11, 5.3 release, 5.3 stable
and 6.0 current.

All kernels will have smp enabled, optimized with -O2
-march=i686, world will compiled with the same options
on *BSD, mysql is 4.0.23a.
Slackware is using xfs, the other will use their
default filesystems.

Claus
