Oh. Crap.

Gentoo released 2006.1 today.  Unfortunately, this also means recompiling everything as GCC got bumped to 4.1.1, and the ABI used for every program got tweaked.

Crap.  That's a two day minimum downtime on the main rig.  Time to get another server loaded up, and I'll need to get a liveCD burned.

Anyone got any Pentium 3 motherboards they're trying to get rid of?

You have the only spare board I had already. :)

As for gentoo recompiling everything... That's why I stopped using Slackware and FreeBSD and why I've never gone to Gentoo. I don't have time for downtime.

And I still have to pay you for that. I got to find out why it's not working now...

Heh, I've forgotten all about that. So it's gone down has it? Eh, don't worry about it. At this point I'm not too worried about a $80 board. The car it was supposed to go in broke down anyway.

I do. It's a slot type and I even have a 667mhz P3 on it. I'm just not sure yet if it's functional. It's from an IBM 300PL if you want to check specs.

I got a board with two Socket-370 P3's on it... and it's also not working. Hoping to find one with an AGP slot and a Socket 370 so I can recycle as much as I can. At least I have a ton of PC100 RAM I can use with it.

Unfortunately, the 370 I just found under a pile of wires has dead capacitors. The only thing it's doing now is giving a home to a living 933mhz chip.
