We installed the 2.x stable branch for it. First impression is this is a very fast machine. Make World takes about 55 minutes to complete, which is faster then the Dual-PII 300 (66MHZ motherboard) we tested which took about 75 minutes. I just saw the Dual 100MHZ motherboards the other day and will probably give that a spin sometime next month. I hear a 450 PII is due out in July so expect the 400s to drop a hundred or so when that happens. It does get expensive to be on the edge. The current 400s are running about $850! > > Jim > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Du Gaue - rdugaue@calweb.com http://www.calweb.com President, CalWeb Internet Services Inc.
