Eric, four computers in a "network" is not the same as a quad processor box. Then again, since AMD doesn't know anything about SMP it appears you don't either. You're right again. 4 networked computers is better, because they can run different OS'es and don't have contention for resources. that sun machine you're complaining about probably is capable of 24-36GB of RAM. OK. Throw in another $20K for the ridiculously priced Sun memory. You are sorely mistaken if you think Linux is "better" than Solaris. Boy am I stupid. I forgot that I like having the Solaris man pages which can't scroll up, the primitive versions of most system binaries (which haven't been improved in ten years), and I hate all of the great shell features on Linux and easy connectivity to Windows machines. Sorry Eric, Sun is the Apple of the Workstation world. They had a huge lead, and they blew it. Scumbria
