Ill have to : maybe look into finding an older machine with PCI on it but i definitly : want to run it on one of my machines. Also would it b possible to sett up : an emutlation of parallel processing running FreeBSD, i mean partitioning : out the job load so that one machine runs s part of a, lets say graphics : program, job while another machine runs another job. Sorry about that bad : explanetion but its been a while. I just remember seeing it done on some : unix machines. I think so, but I'm not at all sure. I believe that there were some simulation ports checked in recently. Also, there is on going work with a thread safe and threading libc. Finally, SMP, symetric multi-processing, is an on going project that is likely to be merged into the main line sources shortly. I'm not sure which of these you are talking about, if any, but FreeBSD has these features on the horizon or in the system. Warner
