12:04pm up 3 days, 20:21, 21 users, load average: 0.16, 0.16, 0.13
gcc version pgcc-2.90.21 971202 (egcs-1.00 release)
Linux snappy 2.0.32 #8 Sat Dec 6 03:08:18 EST 1997 i586
I compiled my kernel with -O6. This box runs under heavy load during peak
times (6pm-12am). I didn't need any kernel patches and nothing seemed to go
wrong.
In fact, I'd say Egcs works pretty darn well.
