??? can I quote you on that to convince people Windows sucks? :)
My Mendocino 333 with Linux completes those baby's in about 13 hours
look at
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/cgi?[EMAIL PROTECTED]&cmd=user_stats
for evidence. This is done at nice 19 (lowest priority), while
continuing using the computer. (including compiling stuff and coding
an occasional MP3).
Also take a look at
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/oss.html
for stats between Operating Systems. More fair is
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/platforms.html
because it combines both hardware and OS's.
Comparing an Alpha running NT and an ix86 running Linux just isn't fair.
