BTW, it is 100% ALU and a major strain on the ALU LOAD.
In other words, it's not a good benchmark for even CPU.
That's...

Yep - but what is your point with bringing that up?

Opteron Mobo Suggestions
I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like
to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard.
I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to
find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards.
Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial
console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394

It's all speculation at this point. But there are _several_ factors.
But I'm sure the first time Intel saw AMD's x86-64/PAE52 presentation,
the same thing popped into my mind that popped

There _are_ systems with hot-swap CPUs, memory and/or, PCI[-X] slots.
They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support.
In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for

CentOS 5.6 will not install due to Firefox error
Hello all,
Well, my local mirror now has CentOS 5.6! Yay! But, I cannot
get it to install. A "yum update" and a "yum --skip-broken"
yields me this:
--> Processing Conflict: firefox conflicts xulrunner >= 1.9.2.14
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
firefox-3.6.13-2.el5.centos.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
--> firefox conflicts with xulrunner

I've had many other machine crumble to this heavy load.
Now only if they were more energy friendly!

Multiple system updates
This is a question for you guys out there that have a bunch of similar
configured systems out there... How do you handle your updates? I do not mean
the technical level, but from the logistics. No updates? Just run yum by cron
and grab the latest of the web and trust the developers that it works? Deploy
only certain packages automatically (i.e. omit kernel updates)? run your own

winbind joining wrong AD domain?
(Apologies in advance for the length of this message - hopefully someone
more familiar with AD will be able to point me in the right direction or
at least help me identify what's going wrong here)..
I'm in the process of putting together a new print server using Samba and
CUPS, and I'm having a bit of trouble getting Samba to properly join the
AD domain. Printing works perfectly, and
