   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> who needs 36 ?, one is sometimes faster then 36 old womans :)   
      
   I'll believe it when I see it.  I've heard recent rumours of a six second   
   kernel compile.  I am nowhere near that with 2|4|6|8 penguins on the various   
   machines I currently have at my disposal the fastest one being a 6 penguin   
   4.1GHz cpu.  I haven't timed it but I am positive it would be minutes and not   
   seconds.  As we speak I have a 5.7.14 kernel running on there.  The newest   
   5.8.1 still has issues with graphics but is better than 5.8.0 which didn't   
   work at all.   
      
    BP> i had forget to turn off multilib   
      
   I haven't done a multilib since about 2005.  Way too much work for absolutely   
   no good reason ... unless of course you enjoy crippling machines.   
      
    BP> i have a slackware at home running on atom cpu, not impressed   
      
   I have 2 at the moment.  Neither is running any distribution.  They are both   
   customized console only linux-gnu development systems with one running   
   wireless access to the internet for so-called smartphones in the   
   neighbourhood.  They work great for what they are intended to do and both can   
   and do take care of themselves.   
      
    BP> its wild enough that graphics cards have now more memory then my   
    BP> first amiga harddisk   
      
   Also power consumption.  Personally I have no use for those and the closest I   
   come to that is a generation 9 i5-9400 with it's builtin IntelĀ® UHD Graphics   
   630.  This is the one that has issues with the newest 5.8 kernels.  I am using   
   it to test console based framebuffer graphics with mplayer's "-vo fbdev2"   
   switch.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice   
      
   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
