[GRLUG] FOR SALE - 16-Cores, 128GB RAM, 3.2TB, RAID, 2xFX4500 Graphics

[Michael Mol]

I didn't arrange for any meaningful benchmarks.  I don't really think
there is such a thing, either.

My two big reasons for using Gentoo are the incremental upgrade
philosophy (no apt-get dist-upgrade every six months, no reinstall of
a new annual release), and that I often need to be on the bleeding
edge versions when I do thinks like media processing.

I did blog on the subject about a week ago:
