Another Geeky update – Gentoo

Posted on Sep 4, 2003

One of my Shuttle SN41G2’s is running Windows XP, the other was running Redhat 9. I wasn’t too impressed with the performance of the linux box when running Seti since it generally underperformed when compared to the linux machine by around 20 minutes per unit (10%).

So I got a Gentoo CD and installed that. I have to say that the install was nowhere near as complicated as I thought it would be, which was a pleasant surprise. After resolving a kernel panic caused by a RAM disk conflict I was up and running again. We’ll see how it performs………..
