I've had to set aside a couple of dedicated Linux boxes to do OpenCL number crunching with nVidia GPUs, because there simply was no way to do that in FreeBSD at the moment. As far as I'm concerned, FreeBSD and HPC don't match well right now, and it is a crying shame. Save for this, everything else here still runs FreeBSD just fine. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/Received on Tue Jun 12 2012 - 15:12:59 UTC
