ATI will give you trouble on Linux and BeleniX. ATI does not provide
drivers for OpenSolaris so nada. Linux drivers are shaky. Use Nvidia
in dual-SLI mode.
But believe me, most of you 25GB RAM will be wasted investment.

Moinak.

"down is fine" - Interesting! In my second job at HCL Technologies,
Cisco ODC
at Chennai, HCL provided 2MBps leased circuit for 60 employees when I
joined
in 1999. I now have 2MBps unlimited at home and a growing
collection of Blu-ray
movies.

I will start with about 8GB, probably or 12GB and then see how much I
need later if I need any at all.... I mean that is the real advantage of
having modular memory slots!
Like servers too, I will be going for x86 systems rather then SPARCs as
SPARCs are not only more expensive but the added computational abilities
I wouldn't be using at home like multiple concurrent floating point
arithmetic or the need for a cisc big endian system.
I plan to use one server as a Ray server meaning that I will probably
need about 8 - 12GB RAM in there, as I wana hook my whole family upto it
round the world and with new VDSL2 internet speeds that should be
possible.
I mean currently I have an idea of what I want to do but will need to
plan it closer to the time as now I don't even have enough money to do
anything.
Anyway it's like in networking industry when creating baselines, you
start with something you think will be ok, then adjust according to what
you need.
But then also, I have many friends @ belenix.org to kick me up the butt
and/or give me advice and tell me when I'm being silly :-) - and I
really do value and appreciate that input and relationship!!
Am currently on the Nvidia site checking out the multi-head GPU's
actually, things have come along way since I last looked which was many
years ago!

BTW script is updated again. I dropped the separate opt filesystem. It
is
causing some issues.

Thanks I just set the laptop up for re-install but haven't initiated it
yet so will download that now!
Am also having issues off a fresh install of 0.7.1 to get the 0.8 script
working but I've just removed the VDI so will re-install the OS and then
try the script again....
I need to have the updated SFEspkg and SFEaxel packages installed before
hand don't I??
Anyhow let's see how it goes first! :-)
Regards,
Kaya

One thing I missed mentioning with 0.7.1 though, please run
pfexec pkgrm SFEspkg before running the script.
There are a couple of features I will add to the utility tomorrow.

Moinak.
