    He didn't even tell me the package had arrived yet! ;D

    Guys, this was mailed late last Friday afternoon. I didn't even think it would get there until Wednesday or so. drasnor, my man, you don't fool around, do you? :thumbsup:

    It arrived Monday, a whole 1 hour after I finished modding the case. I had it built by the end of the day and started installing Linux the following morning. I'm not sure, but I believe SM25 may be our first Tux-powered SMx machine. I turned on some pretty aggressive optimizations when I compiled Gentoo so SM25 is a lean, mean folding machine (the optimization string is: -O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse,387 -mmmx -msse -m3dnow). The -mfpmath=sse,387 is so aggressive it won't work on any of my Pentium 3 systems (works fine on the Athlons though ;))

    Here's the certificate for posterity:
    cert.php?u=SM25&pts=1&t=wus&bg=3

    EDIT: I think I'm going to use a custom sig for SM25 to commemorate:

    SM15 has been tux-powered since dec 15th last year.

    nice sig though

    Can Gentoo's optimizations really improve the WU crunching power?

    Since the client downloads precompiled binaries for the cores, my hunch says no. Fortunately, the compile-time optimizations are only part of what makes Gentoo so fast, the other part being the amount of kernel tweaking I did. The compile-time optimizations will help with keeping the appetite of all of the not-folding processes down so between the two it ought to do alright.

    The main nice thing with Gentoo is that we used a 2GB drive for SM25 with one gigabyte being entirely swap. If SM25 had only 256MB of RAM, we could have built it on a 1GB-1.5GB drive.

    See? I'm never first at anything :bawling:. Good work and you're welcome to use that graphic. Truthfully I only put it up there because the SM sig generator needed the pic hosted somewhere.
