BP6.Com

Only thing is its still too easy to crack. Out of box install cracked in about 45 minutes. The same tools for cracking win2k can be used on 2003. If its SQL server just run a SQL push and bang. If its IIS6 just runs neesis or canvas and your in. I'll stick with my Linux boxes for really important st...

This is a subject I deal with on an almost daily basis. I run Mandrake on my dual boot laptop with XP. I also teach Cisco, A+, and Net+ classes as an adjunct at the local tech school. Since its my class, I run linux for my powerpoints and everything. Sooner or later someone will ask "What kind of wi...

Wow. Its been a while since I have come to the cpu forum. I have a Bp running the traditional 366@500 for my web server. It has been a stable machine since day 1. I just got through building my son a new AMD single system and I have inherited his BPer. I see that the folks here are running them at 1...

I'm looking for a Tyan S2507T. I have a Asus P3C-D mainboard but I haven't got processors or memory for it, yet. I have one(Tyan2507T) that I am running Linux on and it is realy great. talk about stable. It only gets rebooted when the power goes out. It been up for 128 days as of now. If you fill i...

I see a Fellow Tennesseean here. I have too many machines to list but the important ones are the web server. A BP6 with the traditional dual 366@500 and a Compaq raid card with 3-9 gig SCSI drives and 768MB ram. The video is an old compaq with 4 meg of ram but it runs headless in my dmz so it doesn'...

hehehe well, mine don't power on on power fail... i've lost a few Hard drives to that.. i had the pwoer flicker about 50 times in a day once... it kinds killed the hdd.... all 4 of em Man thats a tuff one. All 4 at once. I too run my bp6 headless. It does fine. i just ssh into it and do what I need...

All I have to say is WOW!!!! After running the rpm based distros for over a year, I can see why everyone loves Slackware and Gentoo so much. After recompiling a fresh install of 9.1 to enable smp, That box just flies. I run Fluxbox and it is really impressive. I have a Tyan 230T with dual gigs that ...

If you think XINE is nice try Mplayer. It is real smooth on a dual box. I am running slack on one bp6 and a cut down version of Mandrake on another as a web server for http://www.pdr60.net my site. and about 12 others. I have to admit I wish I had built the web box with slack but at the time I was r...

Man I have been using Winex for about a year now and the latest version is great. Especially since the addition of Poin2Play. You should check it out.

Wow This is a great Looking site. You have really done a first class job

It is an Interesting topic, as I just went through such a failure. I had an ECS D6VAA that started having problems. At the time it was dual booting Win2k and linux. The Linux would not boot but the Windoze would. I tried reinstalling but it would lock up. I did the old pull each card until it works ...

I bought the BP6 when it was first released. And It ran great for a long time. Then it started having read/write failures and problems booting. I thought; Well sh&% there goes a hard drive. I ordered a new hd and tried a fresh install. After about 4-5 failures in an evening and never completing a wi...

Why do you guys keep asking the same question????? THE ONLY CELERON THAT CAN SMP ON THE BP6 IS THE ORIGINAL CELERON WITH SPEED TOPPING OUT AT 533MHZ.
This has been answered in this thread about 3 times, whats the problem. RTFM!!!!

As most everyone knows MDK9.0 came out 0n 9-25. I managed to get it downloaded and installed without any problems. Been running it since 9-26. My first impressions are that this is a very complete and polished release. Having installed it on a dual gig system and a single cpu box I can say both went...

hey Tomatoeboy go to MDK and get 9.0 it was releaded 9-25 and it is wonderfull. I comes with a whole lot of great stuff. Openoffice is right there and is Mozilla 1.1 and KDE 3.03.
I have been running it since it came out and it is great!!!!

I have been running an ECS D6VAA with dual 1 gigs and up 2 gigs of ram. I must say it runns flawlessly. I am very pleased. I started out runnung Win2k, but now I am running Mandrake 9.0. I started running linux back in July and have since dumped Windows. I must say these boards and SMP run much bett...

I am also running 8.2 and I have a working usb. As far as the APM goes... I never shut mine down so its not an issue. But the fact that it doesn't work in smp is interesting. I never use it though so I guess its not a problem.

I just bought a DVD drive this past weekend and am using OGLE and it works great. I tried to configure Xine but didn't have any luck. I am a realitive newbie (been running MDK 8.2 for about 3 months) I have updated to kde3.03 and mozilla 1.0. Anyway here is the link to the page for ogle. http://www....

I just updated from 2.2.2 to 3.0.2. Look is awesome. Seems to be a little faster and more stable. I sure like the way Winex runs under it. Load times are much faster. Since switching to Linux for my dektop I haven't booted into windows in about 2 months. The more I use it .... the more I really can ...

Solve your problem and go to linux.

Cool!! If you need some help let me know

I have run these since I bought them. I guess about 2.5 years.

Would it be possible to have a catagory for just general smp Mother boards and our config/problems and solutions. Not that the BP6 is a bad board but we may generate more traffic as a clearing house for general daul processor issues. I don't want us to become another www.2cpu.com but we could get al...

First of all ...... NICE JOB ON THE BOARD.

As for screen resolution. 1024 x 768 is good for all around.
