[ML] Outperform doing what? There's simply no way a PII would make a better space heater than the cluster, even if it makes a Nice Try:) > The only take I could get would be something about resurrecting stuff > from the junkyard for useful work. [ML] Hey, careful about junkyard! This reminds me of some people I know who put PIII and U2W SCSI disks as file servers on 16Mbps TokenRing, whereas your junkyard '486 saturates it just as well. /Marino> -- He has a point, I don't know how this would be impressive to people. Not to diminish the work, I checked out the site and it's a neat project...just as Jesus Monroy said, though, it's a lot of junk computers. The team welcomes any computers it can get, but I just don't know what would make the BUDS project standout...looking at the BUDS archetecture, it would seem that you would still have to run the client on each and every machine separately which would be no different than anyone else's network of standalone PCs. Now if you could get it to run a single client with the threads distributed across computers... ;) So, yes, it would be great if BUDS would contribute to Team FreeBSD. But I don't what press could come out of it. I'm working on getting team member's stats plotted so you could put the graph on the BUDS website showing the work it is doing, but that's about all I can think of. Now if I could only graph the heat produced while processing keys... :) Thanks, Kelly ~kbyanc@posi.net~ FreeBSD - The Power To Serve - http://www.freebsd.org/ Join Team FreeBSD - http://www.posi.net/freebsd/Team-FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
