Team Catching up Update

[mitchellds]

Nflight,

More to the point, what OS and engineering applications are you gonna run. That should more drive your purchase and direction for hardware, not the other way around.

Each OS has plenty of strengths and weaknesses. If you are hiring engineers to do heavy engineers type work, its already proven what OS they mostly prefer.( a hint?: in generally ends in (**IX) Are you going to run email, DNS, and web services, or modeling or simulation, rendering, Database software out of this setup?

Usually heavy engineering type applications are geared more for a particular OS where they are feature rich on a certain OS. The of course equates to where the spend the most development dollars, that will return them the largest profit for their software development investment.

I'm a Solaris bigot for Sun based hardware. I've run this for years on big sun hardware. I've also run plenty of MS, Novell, Citrix, etc. Do yourself a favor, run (**IX) on the servers, and a dual boot Windoze/Linux on the clients. That gives you all the toys on the desktop, and stability/security/adaptability reliability on the server.

Your right but I plan to run 5 OS's, all from the main server which will be running some unknown OS. """Edit out stuff - too close to home !!!"""

Hi mitchellds,

Sun equipment...Are SunRay 1 boxes good for anything?

Another Team Member ramping up?

Nice piece of pie just delivered by gy-ygf from China.

Thanks,

We used to use Sunray machines as desktop X terminals. They are basically allow programs to be run on a given server and the display piped to the sunray for operation buy the user. Sunrays themselves have very little processing power.

That's what I thought.

We should break the 20,000 uploaded in 24 hours for the whole project in the next few updates. The end is near! lol The number in my sig is based on the current unassigned units plus the ones being processed divided by the current uploads per 24 hours. I try to update it throughout the day. The current is computed with an upload rate of 18,800 the rate at this minute is 19,413 and it's changed that much in the last hour. In the last 15 days the project has done 218,062 wu's of 1.6 million that's a little more than 1/8 of the project!!!

It seems to me that if every-1 that's signed up for our team would do something even a little we could pull away from the Blue-Boyz...
But I guess that's just wishful thinking...

if i would have my own house and a job, i wouldnt think twice about building a farm the problem is that i dont have a job (student) and live with my parents (and they dont let me use their comps, though i let boinc run on my dads laptop a few times). however the future is bright because i study medicine and i plan to make lots and lots of money but for now this is it.

i was planning on buying a new system recently though, but i want to have a mountainbike again. the mtb costs 800 euros and my mother says that if i spend money, she'd rather have me spend it on a bicycle instead of a comp

anyway, i'm off to go and cruise around in the lovely belgian fields with my car.
