For those of you who asked.. ;-)

I don’t know about Debian, but I recently installed Ubantu, and I’m rapidly falling in love. This is everything gentoo should have been and wasn’t. 😉 Of course, I’m setting up a web server / mysql engine / smbfs server / mail server. And, of course, I’ve only gotten as far as putting it on the net and enabling ssh..

But, check out this machine:

root@chloe:~# df -h

Okay, I admit, it’s not the fastest CPU on the market. But still.. 4k bogomips is nothing to sneer at. Although, ironically, Gateway’s lame 1300Mhz Athlon is turning over 2600 bogos.. so maybe bogoMIPS aren’t the best measure of CPU power. Or maybe there’s something else going on.

p.s. it also has a gigabit ethernet interface.

C’mon, someone, drool, already. I know I’m probably running in last place on the ‘who has the most overpowered water-cooled uber-frightening supercomputer’ contest, but 2.1 formatted terabytes.. c’mon, that’s gotta be worth something.. uh.. guys?

    I’ve got a Dual Pentium 200MHz (yes, Pentium Classic) which reports 400 bogomips for each CPU for a total of 800 bogomips.

    That machine will come very close to maxing out a 100megabit connection on reads from a ultra/wide SCSI drive with Samba as reported by Dr. Hardware running on an AMD Sempron 2800+ Windows XP machine (as the client, of course).

    I’ve been meaning to upgrade it to a Gigabit card and seeing how well it can saturate that on reads. I already have a 5-port Gigabit switch which was $15 after a $15 mail-in rebate (and yes, they did send me the check though it took almost 3 months)

    Actually it seems that bogomips is often double the CPU speed in Mhz..
