Well, maybe this is sort of related... Eric Raymond has written an article for the Linux Journal on how to build an Ultimate Linux Box. You can find the whole thing at http://www2.linuxjournal.com/cgi-bin/frames.pl/articles/style/0014.html The machine is said to compile the Linux 2.4.9 kernel in 1 min. 50 sec. I wonder how long it might take to build R on this beast... Cheers, Andy >
