Hi Everyone:
At my work place in the University we're looking at a Linux box
for some scientific calculations. It is float point intensive work and
therefore we're getting Duel PIII-600 Processor [The Software Itself
Supports 2 processors natively, and the sofware has successful ran on RH
5.2]. As a general Rule, if it runs on RH 5.2 it should have no problems
on Mandrake 6.1? right? and also, would it running on a Mandrake 6.1 Box
help its speed compare to running it on RH 5.2?
[the Box will not do anything besides this, it will have running Telnet,
FTP, and top, and the basic, nothing fancy, maybe NFS.] We will not be
running X on it.
The system specs we are looking at is the following -->
Duel Pentium III-600Mhz
4x256MB or 2x512MB RAM [1 GigaByte]
2x18.0Gig 10,000 RPM SCSI HD [The Files we work with are contently in the
2-3 Gigs Range]
S3 Trio32 2MB Card
15" Monitor
SMC9432-TX 100MB NIC [PCI]

Thanks In Advance
