\me stupid. BTW dunno whether grub works on sparc. Have silo on it, but fairly non-functional as it cant access the disk on which i have the kernel. Doesnt seem like a silo defect per se. The proms were apparently buggy on these clones ( sort of like the bios's 1024 limit ) > Hey, just put up a webserver (and a mailserver) on that box.

It used to get randomly rebooted by the watchdog reset when run in the smp mode. The probem seems to have disappeared now that i am running a framebuffered console. But anyway this should make a pretty good mail server. With kernel, X, and OpenGl all being compiled in parallel, one could still peacefully use the box for editing and such stuff. You almost wouldnt feel any difference. All this is when you are using ext2. ext3 makes it quite a bit slower. Top shows almost negligible activity in user space compared to system. But even then pretty responsive. Really impressed by the architecture. Can now understand why the folks used look down on the x86 boxes. > Then post it here and in a few other lists. > Should produce quite a lot of discussion and traffic ... > BTW - why not Reiserfs? What doesn't work on it? Image too bulky to > load or something like that? this goes for shridhar too. Its nothing but sheer laziness. The installer didnt have mkreiserfs so had to contend with ext3. The first disk has gaping bad blocks so extremely disk space starved too. Can back the installation up over network or bring it up again from scratch, but too lazy. One good byproduct is being bitten by gentoo. Now i remake almost every package from srpms whenever i can ;), but hacking the spec files for each package is a pain.
