[was: ... slugish ...] Message-ID: <1994Nov28.194617.18912@system9.unisys.com> Organization: Unisys GIS X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Mon, 28 Nov 1994 19:46:17 GMT Lines: 23 Ok! After wadding through tons and tons of articles, I have yet to see some definitive numbers. Several people suggested running some test, but so far nothing. I have a 386sx/25 with 4Mb, with a 200+ MB IDE, Hercules card ... It is used right now for loading (and reloading) FreeBSD to get some notes down on the installation procedure. I could use it to load other OS's and run some benchmarks, after I finish the current task. If anyone from the Linux side could tell me what version I should be grabbing and from where it would be appreciated. (think I have Slackware 2.0 on one of my CD's). I was going to look at I/O (iozone), the Byte Unix Benchmarks, and compile times for 3 arbitrary software packages. If you have any other suggestions, or things that you would like to see let me know by e-mail. cheers alex
