Can anyone suggest a really big package to compile on a Sun 64 bit operton machine? We just got a new one and I want to test it out.

moz is good ... OOo.org is a REAL good test (on a 1gig G4 w/1gig off ram it easilly takes over 24hours) from the sounds of it though, i think you want to measure your vpenis ... http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/vpenis -mike
Yea, I installed KDE. Just to test the system compiling, we did various -jXX to see what would happen. At -j100 to gcc the system load avg was about 50, however the system was as responsive as if there was no load average, it was awesome. We finally got the load average to over 200 when the machine finally starting having severe lag problems. CH On Thu, 09 Dec 2004 21:26:14 -0500, Gary at home <gary@hanley.net> wrote:

How about Gnome or KDE?

Please excuse the slightly off-topic comment from this AMD fan-boy... But *if* Sun gains any traction selling these machines the stock could appeciate nicely...maybe even spectacularly. Now is a nice time buy while the stock is relatively cheap if you can tolerate the risk, which is significant. -- Gary Chuck Haines wrote:
