Me too! :-)

Heh. It's a lot of effort isn't it and a *lot* of time.
I have no idea how much time I've spent on this since 2002. I was even
working on it when I was backpacking in Australia - although I don't think
I'd released anything then -- it looks like 11.0 in 2007 was the first
time I'd released although it'd been publically in -current form since
2004: that's probably why you didn't find anything when you looked.

You just reminded me that I didn't update the minirootfs for 13.37!
/me updates the release instruction docs!

The miniroot for -current expands to 213MB-- the SD Card is smaller?

Can do -- I can also do it. -current for x86 won't be started for a while
yet, so my SPs have nothing to do.  I've got to upgrade my ancient systems
from 13.something to .37 tomorrow, rebuild the x-toolchains and then I'll
start a build of glibc going and I'll upload it somewhere.

Can anybody suggest any valid benchmark tests though?
I'm going to have a look at lmbench now
