Congrats! I'll try to get my 8350 up in a few weeks,
I really really really want to test this:)

If someone writes HP FOCUS backend for gcc and if I'll get
some technical docs I have a three CPU HP 9000/550 which would 
beat that. How about SMP with 1 MIPS/proc :-)? And then there's 
11/782 which would about par with the 550.

Is the kernel available for download somewhere ? I might be able to test it
with a suitable userland if I can find those. 

Once again, thanks a lot!!
