Use that compile machine to build binaries for a cluster of Alphas running FreeBSD. The money we saved by not ordering Tru64 on our cluster of DS10s and the money that we've saved by not renewing 20+ CLSG/ESL campus software liceses & software support has probably paid for the time I've spent porting FreeBSD to the alpha and getting OSF/1 abi compatability to the point it is at now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
