[linux-help] Re: Dual processors

[Anne McCadden <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

I am running 3 sessions of Seti at the same time, use the pc to check my 
email, surf the web, download songs, have apache & mysql daemons in the 
background on a single 1.4 AMD thunderbird without any problems.  I am 
also one of the top seti producers at 95.5+ percentile of all the seti 
contributors.  I must admit that I shutdown seti, apache, & mysql if I 
want to play Quake 3 with the new nVidia & openGL drivers.  Linux has 
much superior memory & resource management to the cometitor and at a 
much better price.  I'm sold on it.  I'm still trying to decide if I 
want to stay with RedHat or switch to Suse.  I have found more 
documentation for RedHat.  ~Anne
