must...resist....buying...more....crunchers :)

Seriously, I should have at least 4 more systems coming on-line in a few weeks, or as soon as I can solve some of my diskless Linux issues.

Congrats to all :beer::) Let's keep the power up!

Grendel: share the knowledge of diskless Linux. One of my problems is combating heat (and huge electric bills). Dumping hard drives would solve many problems.

I was inspired by the picture of 'Crunchy Hog' that someone posted a while back.

I bought 4 of those Soyo MBs that MWave was offering for free with the purchase of an Athlon XP and am using a Tyan Thunder with dual MP's as the image server.

Unfortunately, I'm still in the development stages. My initial concept is to use PXE boot to load a LTSP kernel from my server. I'm still working on an image for the clients.

I've got some Solaris experience from a few years back, but Linux is a new realm for me so it's taking time. I've been documenting everything and will upload the results when I've got something working.

Thanks for the number and the welcome.:D Happy crunchin:beer::D:

Edit: This seems like a pretty new project, and i haven't been able to find any optimizations for it. Is there any that you know of??

Welcome about Lorne45! I had been meaning to create a short document on how to install and configure FaD... maybe it is time I do this.

I am not aware of any optimizations, but that does not mean they do not exist.

If you find any, please let us know!

Can I change the priority of THINK?
The base priority for THINK is normal but the computational thread runs at low priority. If you are using Windows XP or have installed some third party tools you can change the priority. [Q\]

This is from the faq at the main site, so there are ways to speed it up but i can't find the tools or the way to do it in windows XP. Anybody else??

I do not know how to do this on a permanent basis but you can perform it in Task Manager by right clicking on the think.exe process' and altering the Priority. The default seems to be low, which means that think should never impact performance of the PC. What you would be trading off here is system response to the user over running think. I have never altered my priority and a quick survey shows that my think process' get 99% of the total CPU time.

Thanks for the help. I forgot all about Task Manager!! I moved it to normal anything higher starts stealing resources from windows and you get unstable. My CPU rating jumped from 210 to 280 awhile after i changed it, so maybe it will make a difference in speed. We will see:beer::D:brokenheart::camera:

I still don't seem to be showing on the team chart, how long does it usually take??

I just posted the stats for the 28'th and you did not show... cause I need two captures of the stats with you in it to generate some of the totals... I know it is a weak excuse and inidicative of sh!ty code but... I did recognize you as a new member assuming you are LastKnight!

If you are not LastKnight, then the stats are generated every 6 hours and you should show up here http://stats.findadrug.org.uk/stats.php?Team=33&Period=1&Order=Points 6 hours after your first upload of results.
