The 690's are beasts. I've got a 390, and I can only imagine what it would be like if it were 300 more.<br><br>I guess one question specific question for anyone out there -- have you tried mounting /home over NFS or AFS? Is that safe to do? It seems like it would be great when it worked and terrible if it didn't.
<br><br>Also, are there any good ways to keep the image the same on all the machines? Make sure that everything has the same configuration?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/20/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">G.Pitman

We even still get the occasional "Someone is chewing all *MY* cycles!"
