Hi Alan,
Sorry to be negative, but the HP Vectra XU (which is otherwise a fine
_beast_ of a machine!) does not work well with linux. Disabling the cache
appears to be a workaround, at the cost of performance (>50% penalty!)
I have heard of one machine (I think it was an ALR ??) which seemed to
work OK. I think it's an earlier posting in this group...
Cheers,
Borg
