Just my $.04 worth (inflation included)
Agreed.
I haven't had a make world failure here since switching from
FreeBSD 3.0 back to 2.2. I have cvsuped maybe 20 times since the beginning of ap
ril and done a world with every one of them, without fail.
The CPU is a Intel P60, with 8M of ram, 24M swap and 900M disk space
total.
Of course it isn't state of the art, but it works, and seems to be 100%
Intel Compatible :)
