I am by definition a definate Linux NOOB, but I currently have 2 machines running YOPER 2.1.0-4 and have found it to be by far my best experience with Linux ever. Installation went flawlessly and both of the machines now running YOPER had previously been doing CP with W2K Pro and they are now processing approx. 0.5 seconds per timeslice faster then they were with W2K. 0.5 seconds per TS figures out to about 1.8 hours saved per "tickle", so it's a good thing in my book. I have plans to change 2 more machines over to YOPER as soon as they complete their current model run. This is just my experience, hope it helps. SkyHook
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Best Number Crunching OS and settings? (Message 4221) Posted 16 Sep 2004 by old_user1276 Post: This is just my own very unscientific observation but I have 2 2.4B P4 systems that originally were running Win 2K Pro and doing what I felt was a respectable job. I then switched these 2 machines over to YOPER Linux, and with everything else being identical both of these systems are now doing TimeSlices in 0.6 seconds less. With 10802 TimeSlices per Tickle that's a savings of approx 1.8 hours per tickle. Now YOPER Linux is a fairly new distro which is optimized to take advantage of today's faster hardware and of course your mileage may vary. SkyHook
