FWIW I've been able to achieve about the same speeds over smb and nfs
shares sitting on my linux boxes. The interesting bit is I know the hard
drives are capable of much more (around 60MBps). Also interesting is the
raw network rate between the machines (tested with ttcp) is around
80MBps.

My only guess is the PCI bus is being saturated. Does anyone know if the
SATA controllers on modern MBs still share the PCI bus with the physical
slots? That would explain the drop in speed.

Thanks for reminding me, downloading both the desktop and the netbook
remix now. Has anyone ever run the remix before? Any limitations vs. a
"full" install? I currently run the full 8.10 on my MSI Wind netbook and
it runs fine, should I just install the full 9.04?

Thanks, TTYL
