Sounds like fun. I would certainly take a shell account :). I poked around and according to http://wiki.eeeuser.com/eee_pc_701?TB_iframe=true&height=520&width=980 the 4G model comes with a "900 MHz Intel Celeron M ULV 353 @ 630 MHz". I would be curious about the output from /proc/cpuinfo. If we have SSE2 I see no reason not to run the Xeon binaries. The tuning would likely suck, but I don't expect most people to do anything I would consider a serious computation on it. If I build Sage on that box I would be slightly concerned about ATLAS, but I can tune it once [in a day or so] and then stick the tuning info back into out spkg and also push it upstream. > Its also running openvpn... so if you wanted to go whole hog... but ssh > gets you most of the way. :) > links I had in a tomboy note: > > http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home > > ------------------------------ > > http://ubuntucare.com/2007/12/11/ubuntu-on-the-asus-eee-pc-part-1/ > > actually at: > > http://www.sampletheweb.com/2007/12/09/ubuntu-on-the-asus-eee-pc-part... > > and here's the ubuntu docs on it: > > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC > > Let me know. Cool. If you give me a shell please make sure that box is actively cooled before I build Sage. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if the life expectancy of that piece of hardware goes down rapidly. I actually just got access to a couple Sun boxen, so I am neck deep in the Solaris port of Sage again and on the way to beat all dependencies on gmake in Sage out of the code base :) > -glenn Cheers, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
