Yeah, I hadn't really thought of that.
One thing I'm going to regret is having to stop the SETI thing from
running on my full-time Linux box at home. That's where I plan on
running the EveryAuction script for a good while, and I don't know of
a way to make the SETI program take anything less than ALL of the CPU
under Linux. I'd settle for giving it half if I could set it with a
switch or something, but I can't have it bringing the machine to a
crawl if several people hit it at once.
Good news is I'll be able to give it the full 128mb it started with
next week. I just had my friend at a computer store order a 128mb
dimm at his cost - $90. So 256 for my personal box and 128 for the
Linux box. Then I'll be able to run Redhat 6, X, and VMware and give
128 to NT under it and 128 to Linux itself.
