I have a whole bunch of these, some with Linux (yech), some with Solaris X86 (whee!) and one with FreeBSD on it. FreeBSD and Solaris X86 run really nicely on them, Linux blows itself apart because the boards use NCR U2W chipsets on them and there is some kind of interaction and race condition which causes ext2 to hose itself on them at random intervals. Nothing new to Linux (Just re-install, just like Windows!). They have the same stepping, on both CPU's, and the boxes run perfect. I'd say the boxes aren't really cost effective at $17k a pop and you'd be *much* better off with a Telenet box (www.tesys.com) but if HP is what you've got around, its whats around :) --- Tom bifrost@minions.com "Where am I and why am I in this handbasket?"
