Sun W1100z ? That's a single opteron based box right ? Correct. I didn't want to spring for the 2100z.
Im running suse 9.1 X86_64 on a dual opteron (metropolis) box as a testbed, and it works like a charm.
I had redhat 3 WS ES update 1 on it befpre (as that's what Sun ships it wi9th) but that gave me a horror of a time with NFS.
The only thing is that you *must* install the latest NVidia drivers (6106). I don't know which ones yast/you picks for you, but the 5xxx serieas drivers will lock the ssytem when running 32bit OGL applications (quake3 to name just one) I'm just running standard office stuff on it. I figured rather than making it just a test unit, I might as well use it. No games though.
Apart from that, the box will just voom (esp.if you have the FX3000 video card ;) ) I'm running the lowest card...NVS280.
Any problem with Windows XP running on it? Again....for test purposes. Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 1.805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com
