I'm certainly jealous. My E4500 will only run a couple of days before

E4500 with 8 CPU's. It is running Gentoo with a 2.4 kernel (2.4.31 at
the moment).
I've got a UP box (Blade 100), so I can't speak for SMP. Bummer about
your E4500. Noise and power consumption aside, I'd love to have one. :-)
I had the same "hangs without a trace" issue when I tried the 2.6
kernels. Sometimes the box would run for a couple weeks, sometimes just
a day or two. The end result, however, was always a mysterious hang.
Yeah. I've been hoping that when they release the 2.6 kernels for sparc
that this problem will go away. Yeah, the beast is a little much in a
home environment but the price was very right and I couldn't pass it up. ;-)
