There are "few" problems with moof... I love that little bundle of fur,
but.... Memory is only 384 Mb and CPU is just 466 Mhz. It's the same system
I am running @ work, and it is kinda slow :-(
The other thing is that I still quite didn't figure out why it takes roughly
30 seconds to SSH to it... But that might be just some firewall problem.
I'd prefer to use Nago for the task, but (again), not before it gets updated
to Solaris 9 and VXFS. But nagoya, on the other hand, has a slower IO from
disks on multiple files (it doesn't really like GUMP). I need to see if VXFS
changes this...

Yes, here or there, PLEASE, I need help... And on Nago I can act pretty much
alone (I know every little bit of software installed on the machine, and
pretty confident on what goes on)...
