Some days are just better than others.

I’ve just finished completely eviscerating a powerful server that was running Windows 2003 R2.

It’s now running Slackware64-current and very very beautifully so:

Kernel: 2.6.32.7
Kernel Image Size: 2299 KB
Module Tree Size: 33936 KB

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5345 @ 2.33GHz

Total RAM Available: 4054384KB
Total RAM Used (+/- b/c): 42240 KB

/dev/sda: 6x SAS disks
MegaRAID hardware controller
4 disk in RAID10.
2 global hot spares.

hdparm -tT /dev/sda:
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 8206 MB in 2.00 seconds = 4106.44 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 552 MB in 3.01 seconds = 183.66 MB/sec

It’s name according to the Simpsons naming scheme?
