Well, MY IPX's have the Weitek speed chips in them, but that still does
not count for too much.

I thing the SS10 will be fine as a small webserver.... If sol8 is
fast enough, else OpenBSD time, again.

OK... Slowlaris8 has been running for over 30 minutes, and is just
now coming up into X and the install script.  YIKES!  Sloooooooow.
On a lark, I will put 16mb in the SS4 and see if that will run up
OpenBSD faster.....(:+}}...

Finally.... 35+ minutes later, the install script is UP.  YIKES.
...and I was thinking the Sol2.4 was slow.....(:+\\.....

Thanks
