Last time i used this, about three years ago, this was a real pain to make work, but once you have it going, its great and will support 6 - 8 connections.
A openBSD release contains far, far more than just the kernel its all the userland as well. IE: things like grep and diff and csh. There are hundreds of these programs. The OpenBSd team puts a lot of effort into making the whole release secure not just the kernel.
Having bits of DNA to put back together is all well and good but they dont hep to clone an animal. What you need are chromosomes. Chromosomes are a complicated structure consisting of a protein scafold that the DNA is wrapped around. We still dont know the structure of the proteins in chromosomes, but we do know that it changes with time. There is a complicated interplay between the DNA and the chromosome proteins, as yet not very well characterised. Its all very well to grow up bits of DNA in varius bugs, but it can never give you the whole chromosomes you need for cloning. In my opinion the technology to do this is way more then 10 years away. I hope I am wrong. I hear this story every year, I suspect they are applying for grants again...
Last sunday I bought myself in Oz a new computer with a athlon K7 700, case markings as follows:
AMD K7700MTR51B A 2300 16527543
Not the A indicating a.18 micron core.
This system has given me lots of trouble, Initially I could not get it through a red hat install without freezing (B**dy computers). After dumming down a bunch of settings (Its a k7V) mostly at random! (By this I mean turning of the cache and increasing RAM timmings) I managed to make it run long enough to install red hat.
Looking at http://www.sandpile.org/arch/cpuid.htm I am willing to bet that model = 1 means a.25 micron core? However the markings indicates a.18 micron core!
The two projects are, i believe, going about the whole thing in two very different ways.
HUGO is sequencing the entirity of the human genome in a slow traditional manner. This does not need excessive computing power.
TIGR on the other hand is sequencing ONLY the genes of the human genome. They are using a shutgun approach which involves sequencing bits at random and using computing power to match up all the little bits. They need lots of computing power and would be helped by a distributes computing effort.
TIGR also get to use all the info from HUGO but not the other way around.
Of course working out what all thoise basses means, needs more processing power then we currently have on the planet. And hopefully distributed networks will startup that try and do protien folding and gene searching and the like.

Could this be a "fake" athlon? Comments anyone...
