I'm not sure why you're asking this? Is it because it's an Intel? Yes. Do you think it's going to behave differently than an AMD chip? No, but building the archive would give us more evidence. Also, it stress tests the hardware and kernel and I assume (w/o checking) that there are some differences in the kernel support for Intel and AMD x86_64 chips. I know most of the AMD64 work has already been done on AMD hardware, and I'm grateful for that work. But I obtained this EM64T box for Debian so we can *test* whether Debian works rather than just assume it will. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

RE: EM64T Machine available for porting
I hope it works! I have 8 1850's (2.8 GHz EM64T's) running unstable at the moment (with the test SMP kernel), and have another 34 on order!

In parallel, have an EM64T machine do exactly the same thing - also for the current state of the source repository. Then see whether there are any packages where one of them fails and the other succeeds ... Hmm ... 8-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Kurt Shouldn't be a problem with a local mirror for the 2 boxes just stopy the sync process for the time needed. I would do it myself but I don't have a unused EM64T box in pyiscal range right now :-( greets Uwe -- Jetzt will man das Internet nicht einfach ein paar Leuten wie der IETF überlassen, die wissen, was sie tun.
