The build finished without freezes of any kind. last pid: 98605; load averages: 19.98, 14.50, 10.16 up 0+00:52:34 15:54:35 45 processes: 1 running, 43 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 14.8% user, 0.0% nice, 5.1% system, 0.2% interrupt, 79.9% idle Mem: 19M Active, 494M Inact, 158M Wired, 44K Cache, 112M Buf, 1331M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free So I ran it again with two big tarballs being made in the background and that one finished too as did the tarballs in a very timely manner. I think I have found some stability and performance for my new machines. Thanks for all the help guys. The skies look so much bluer and brighter today...... ;-) Cheers, -- Wil Hatfield
