[wellylug] Iwill SFF Dual Opteron demo ??

[Wood Brent]

I've just been told that there should be a demo available of the Iwill ZMAX
dual Opteron SFF system in NZ in the next couple of weeks.

I'm down on the list of those who wanna play with such toys :-) I can't
guarantee getting hold of it, but if I'm lucky, I hope to throw Mandrake for
AMD64 on it. If anyone has SUSE 9.1 or Fedora 64 to play with, that could also
be an option.

If I can, and there is some interest, I'ĺl bring it to a Wellylug meeting
for the technophiles to drool over :-)

I'm also be interested in some real-world benchmarks to throw at it. I'ĺl
try & get the ROMS meteorological benchmark tested on it, but if anyone has
some real workstation type software & tasks we can throw at it, to get some
documented comparisons, could you let me know?

I like to make the best of any opportunity to play with this to demo Linux & 64
bit, as in that market, the competition from Microsoft is not very strong :-)
