Please take a few minutes to fill out the following survey regarding what hardware you are currently using or have used in the past with LINUX and 386BSD. If you don't know the answer to a question, leave it blank. The satisfaction questions are intended to be somewhat open ended but answers might include both performance and level of support from your OS. Email the completed survey to me: kuehn@citadel.scd.ucar.edu If the response is good, I will compile and post the results to the net. Your participation is appreciated. --Jeff Kuehn =============================================================================== Operating System (386BSD/LINUX): =============================================================================== MotherBoard MFR: Processor/Speed (386,486,sx,dx,dx2,xxMHZ): Bus Architecture (ISA,EISA,VL-Bus,etc.): Memory architecture: # megs 60ns RAM: # megs 70ns RAM: # megs 80ns RAM: Cache architecture: Cache Size (KB): BIOS (mfr,date): Is this mother board configuation satisfactory? =============================================================================== Disk controller MFR/model: Type (IDE,SCSI-1,SCSI-2 etc): Hardware cache?
