zeus.kernel.org is currently running with HIGHMEM turned off, since it crashed due to an unfortunate interaction between sendfile() and HIGHMEM -- this was using 2.4.10-ac4 or thereabouts.

The current zeus.kernel.org has 1 GB of RAM, however, it looks like we're going to get a 6 GB machine donated. Clearly HIGHMEM is going to be necessary (still an x86 machine, unfortunately), and I wanted to ask if it was believed that these problems had been worked out...

Get a 64-bit machine and forget about doing >32bits on a 32-bit machine :)

You're right, of course. Unfortunately, beggars can't be choosers. :(

What sort of NIC is it using?
