I didn't know that about OpenBSD, I'll try it out while pursuing the original Tru64 install disks.
Curious, other than a hobbiest perspective or as a sandbox machine, how do these compare to an entry-level webserver like this:
Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz
80GB Hard Drive
512 MB RAM
or this:
Intel Xeon 3040 Dual-core Conroe Processor
250GB Hard Drive
1024 MB RAM
I'm not really looking to deploy them, just get a feel for where they stand. I know there was a lot of criticism of the x86 chipsets and their offspring compared to Alpha and SPARC, and that clock speed is irrelevant.
I confess that I have only a few years of experience, so the articles get rather murky.
Thanks for your comments!
Bill
