I tested my first Lemote Mini by doing about 5 complete builds back to back of OpenBSD over a period of a couple of weeks with no failures and no issues of any kind. The box remained nearly silent and was cool to the touch the whole time. Whether LinTel apps compile may be one thing but OpenBSD certainly runs outstandingly well on these boxes. I have one setup as an FTP server and it pushes 9+ MB/s out the door with the stock 160G SATA. I think for what you get for how much you pay these boxes are a screaming deal. As I said I don't think anybody is going to want to use one as a desktop but as tiny green servers they are a great value and work fantastically. /jl -- ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Powered by Lemote Fuloong against HTML e-mail X Loongson MIPS and OpenBSD and proprietary / \ http://www.mutt.org attachments / \ Code Blue or Go Home!
