We are soon going to embark on a great adventure of putting a large student population on a couple of those. Therefore, i am soliciting people's tricks, advice and tuning information for running heavilly loaded vax/unices. I would also like the answer to one immediate question...What is the penalty for using very large disk partitions under BSD (eg. combining the g & h partitions on an eagle)? Please respond to me, and i will field responses from people who are curious what turns up. -mark -------
