Re: [OFF-TOPIC] RC5 challenge and linux
I just installed rc5 on my machine (Cyrix 6x86 166+, 64 EDO, perm
connection)... what should my settings be? I'm running a internet server
as well, so I don't want to give all my cpu cycles away.
My id should be 'linux@linuxnet.org' right?
Also, where are the rankings posted?
