Thank you, I only tried another distro for quick checking of hardware.&nbsp; current bsd (at least netbsd) doesn't so i figured that if it's possible at all Gentoo would be the way to go, besides i prefer to only use one distro at a time, though i've spent some time with 3 brands of mainframe all with a different os and picked up some Cobol, fortunately not much cobol. &nbsp; it'll only be doing lite duty and probably won't even be on all the time, but i like playing so another machine helps and i might have some light lifting where the power savings would be nice if it's always on.<br /><br />mad.scientist.at.large (a good madscientist)<br />

Does any body know if it's possible to set up gentoo on a single core 64 bit athlon, old socket 754?&nbsp; I tried another distro and it said it didn't support non-smp 64 bit.&nbsp; If not i'll have to put some 32 bit os on it.&nbsp; I'm planning to use it mostly for a local boot server for os installs or possibly firewall, maybe eventual honey pot since it is low energy usage. &nbsp; I know it's not supported by current BSD or windows.&nbsp; Thanks.<br /><br />mad.scientist.at.large (a good madscientist)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br />
