    gentoo :)

    Hallo Benny!

    gentoo :)

    I am still working on motorshed. At the moment it is the same except with Linux version 5.7.14 due to issues with graphics on the console on 5.8.0.

    What more needs to be said?

    I require bribing. A 36 penguin xeon-d with motherboard and ram (at least 72G of ecc) ought to pique my interest. :-)

    it shame that zeon is behind amd now, i am still happy with my ryzen 7 3700, there is a new model now 3750, but :)

    maybe i build one desktop around 3800HS but only if it have motherboards with DDR5 :)

    Hallo Benny!

    link to ?

    There isn't one ... or at least not on the internet. So far I have only supplied myself. An excellent source for building customized linux-gnu systems has always been www.linuxfromscratch.org.

    it shame that zeon is behind amd now,

    That is what I've heard except I haven't seen a 36 penguin ryzen yet. 16 is the most I have seen thus far. Mind you I haven't been looking all that hard.

    i am still happy with my ryzen 7 3700, there is a new model now
    3750, but :)

    Understood. I am happy with the two atom based servers I currently have working but they aren't anywhere near providing me with 36 penguins. ;-)

    No amd's here ... yet. I like the looks of the threadrippers but they are a tad too rich for me ... especially the 128 penguin ones. You could bribe me with one of those systems. :::evil grin:::

    okay

    who needs 36 ?, one is sometimes faster then 36 old womans :)

    i had forget to turn off multilib so ggc glibc sandbox all taked longer unneded time to build, its many year since gentoo defaulted to multilib on amd64

    i have a slackware at home running on atom cpu, not impressed :)

    this is possible the new black of computing, lets hope the white will not fight who should be stopped or being slave cores :)

    its wild enough that graphics cards have now more memory then my first amiga harddisk

    Hey Benny!

    I'll believe it when I see it. I've heard recent rumours of a six second kernel compile. I am nowhere near that with 2|4|6|8 penguins on the various machines I currently have at my disposal the fastest one being a 6 penguin 4.1GHz cpu. I haven't timed it but I am positive it would be minutes and not seconds. As we speak I have a 5.7.14 kernel running on there. The newest 5.8.1 still has issues with graphics but is better than 5.8.0 which didn't work at all.

    i had forget to turn off multilib

    I haven't done a multilib since about 2005. Way too much work for absolutely no good reason ... unless of course you enjoy crippling machines.

    i have a slackware at home running on atom cpu, not impressed

    I have 2 at the moment. Neither is running any distribution. They are both customized console only linux-gnu development systems with one running wireless access to the internet for so-called smartphones in the neighbourhood. They work great for what they are intended to do and both can and do take care of themselves.

    its wild enough that graphics cards have now more memory then my
    first amiga harddisk

    Also power consumption. Personally I have no use for those and the closest I come to that is a generation 9 i5-9400 with it's builtin Intel® UHD Graphics 630. This is the one that has issues with the newest 5.8 kernels. I am using it to test console based framebuffer graphics with mplayer's "-vo fbdev2" switch.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
