It is slotted for a second daughtercard, though. Don't know how much additional processors would cost. I did build gentoo on a quad-ppro box about a year ago, and I seem to remember needing to add something to make.conf to get it to run 4 parallel gcc processes. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Thyssen [mailto:rt@dsl.pipex.com] Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2003 7:09 PM To: gentoo-alpha@gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-alpha] preliminary success On Sunday 05 Oct 2003 11:30 pm, jwsacksteder@ramprecision.com wrote: > I appear to be having good success with my new "Digital Server 5000", a.k.a > 'rawhide'.

I've been interested for awhile as I'm starting to need things that I don't get (easily) with Debian. Tell me, did you have to do anything special to get the kernel to recognise both processors? /rob -- gentoo-alpha@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-alpha@gentoo.org mailing list
