This is a Global broadcast to postgreSQL folks. (don't flame me. I
thought everyone
MUST know this as it has effects in the future of postgreSQL). How about
running
postgreSQL on a Linux Super-computer??
Internet is developing a very high performance, high speed 64-bit CPU
chip to compete directly with Intel's Merced chip! Visit -

Freedom CPU can be used for standalone PCs, Network computers, SMP and
even Super computers using Linux. Cost of Freedom CPU will be $30 US.
Intel Merced CPU will cost about $900.
Cost of Linux super computer will be about $70,000 ($70K US dollars)
Linux will scream on super-computer machines at speeds anywhere
from 200 GIGA-flops to 1000 GIG-flops.
1 GIGA-flops = 1000 million floating point operations per sec.
When main frame computers do not give that kind of power, you MUST
go to Linux Super- computers!!
I had compiled a Linux super computer kit, please

I would say forget NT altogether and GO for LINUX!!
Aldev's First Law: Once a piece of source code is written by someone
than you
must NOT waste even one minute trying to re-create it!!
