Chainsaw
Finally.. After briefly being enticed by a 64bit machine to work with only to have it taken away from me, I once again have control of a 64bit linux machine. It's aptly named Chainsaw, after.. Well, a chainsaw. I was limited to 4gigs of RAM previously, but now I have 16 to play with. My comps are behaving a little peppier. I'm going to try out Nuke64 and see if it plays well with my scripts.
My previous machine, Bionicman, wasn't very Bionic. All sorts of problems plagued that sucker. Before that it was Thor, and that was a killer machine. It was the original machine that I started on years back which I started on Flags of our Fathers.
Ahh, to have interesting machine names...
At the last company I was at, there were some good ones... You could tell the batches the machines had come in in - some were street names, some were director names, some were types of tree, and there were more....
Now? When I started, I was on lonfx007. Now I'm on lonfx017. Before this machine, it was lonfx013. Doesn't make it all that easy to remember...
Give me back my interesting names!

Is Nuke5 full 64bit or just run on 64bit machine?

I personally name all the hardware I buy after ancient or biblical cities. Jerusalem, Sodom, Gamorrah, Bethlehem, Nazareth etc. etc.
So did you put this box together yourself or purchase it from someplace like Boxx? If you built it yourself would you mind posting the specs of the motherboard, graphics card, processor etc. etc. ?

Matthew: I forgot to mention that these are work machines, so I don't build em. I think it's a BOXX system though, running Debian. All my local home machines are old kingdoms, Babylon, Minoa, Macedonia, and so forth.
Nash: I don't know about Nuke5 being 64bit, but I think that's slowly coming. Right now I'm running a 64bit internally compiled version.
Hugh: Ionfx007? Hehe, what happens when they hit 1000?
