I have very limited access to ABIT anymore........possibly ZERO.
After the Gentus ISO issue, I flamed them for not honoring GPL.
I had Linus and Alan in the backgound.........

If "Jon Burchmore" had not paid for the system (I was a poor staff
astronomer at a university, and writing kernel code in my spare time)

Blame me for the HIPE!!

I have a perfectly matched step of 366 Celerons, it does not crash.....
It is so trusted that it is at a remote location on a UPS. It runs so
well, I boasted about it at Atlanta Linux Showcase.
The problem is that mine runs perfectly......
andre@bp6% dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null
27068420+0 records in
27068420+0 records out
Mind the fact that I was SSHed to the box twice and stroke of midnight
happened during the query......You know that daily noisy event that SuSE
performs at 12:00am........it still is running...
