We certainly don't need the extra horsepower right now.  The main concerns are 
compatibility with our existing code which seems to be kinda picky (until I 
get my hands on it).  I'll definately look into Tyan - I didn't know they 
were being cooperative.  Is it only the K8 dual-proc boards, or are there 
others from Tyan?

I'll also look into linuxlabs and cwlinux.  I think one of those two had some 
descriptions on their web site, but the options were limited.

Finding out who the right vendors are is why I'm here!  I haven't even 
downloaded the latest release of the code yet - its on my TO-DO list.

Thanks for your feedback!
