Some guy in my sign up class has this:

199) Tue Mar 21 12:14:17 2000 Sat Apr 10 17:02:37 2004 93 1.730 years 162 hr 59 min 46.2 sec United Kingdom


Screensaver version on a P166 that's on only occasionally? Been a user for over 4 years now, returned his last unit just this past weekend, and he still has but 93 units done :)

I guess every little bit helps though :)

You guys have overlooked CmdrJoe on our own team (he's about #3071 on Smoke's stats page). He's done 1 wu with an average time of 299h24m49.4s

lol @ thread:)

Yeah I believe joe did that on a 486 ,you'd have to ask a real old timer for the details as that was way back when he did that!;)
Mgallik or HB might know

once had a wu take 432 hours about 3 years ago... more than 2 weeks of crunching.. i was starting to panic.. but i kept it running and returned it...
too bad i was still running the gui back then lol...
im still on the same pc and my average is about 16 hours or so...
at my current rate,, i should break that elusive 2500 mark in about a week maybe.. damn.. its been almost 3-1/2 years..

I know of a way to find out ;)

I'll have to fix an NFS issue, but I'll see what I can do. ;)

EDIT: It'll require a slight network redesign, but I should have it up and crunching tomorrow or the day after. :p

I don't really think a day will make that much of a difference on that machine. :D It should be interesting. If the machine will stay booted for that long of a time for it to finish. hehe Not to mention power outages in the next few months.

:p I'm just being lazy.

Barring poweroutages it should stay booted. It was stable when I was using it previously.

It also looks like the OpenBSD 3.3 sparc64 client works on 3.5-beta, so I might have another ancient sparc machine working as soon as I get a chance to switch around my network a bit (netbooting machines currently can't access the internet :p).
