OK we will get a new server (P5-133 with 64MB EDO, PCI AHA2940, 2*Fujitsu 2GB 7200rpm, DEC 21040 based Ethernet PCI card) machine somewhen round the weekend, so I could run the benchmarks while I set it up - so: 1) Where shall I find the Linux thing? And how shall I install it? (It might seem funny, but presently it is a FreeBSD related question) 2) Where shall I get the benchmark programs? For FreeBSD from one of the mirrors of ftp.freebsd.org, but for Linux? Any other suggestions as for the benchmarking? And most importantly - how much time is this all going to take? > > -Brandon Gillespie- > Sander
