I don't understand the 'optimization' comment. I'm running YDL on a 7600/200 and a 9600/233. The 9600 also works with a G3 upgrade card in place of the stock 604e. I have not upgraded to 2.3, but I don't think the latest version uses the new gcc (3.x) since it is based on RedHat 7.2. My understanding is that only the new gcc has different optimizations for different PowerPC processors. The only other 'optimization' I could think of would be for the graphics chips, but I never use Xwindows, so I couldn't tell you anything about that. -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
