Over at morphos-news.de there is an article from one of the first Pegasos II owners, where he shares his first impressions:

I'm still astonished by the speed difference between my already fast Pegasos 1 and the Pegasos 2. The G4 behaves very well, the stability so far seems okay, the computer sound is perfect. Ambient opens a 300+ files folder in less than a second (!). I performed many MD5 sums test over 800 mb files and no problem occured.

...

Finally, it makes several hours the computer is turned on, I had no crash so far. Compatibility seems to be perfect with the Pegasos 1, without the bugs of its predecessor.

The g4 is at 1.3GHz or 1GHz?

How would you perform that test? Or are you talking about the boards themselves?

Cheers

Using suitable program and measure between Pegasos1 and Pegasos2 of course

These could perhaps be done next Summer if a neutral person can be found who has access to both platforms and a good knowledge of Linux.

Let me rephrase my question, what kinds of tests had you in mind ;-)

Phew! I was becoming tired of that bug.

Hah. There is no such computer on this planet which does not have bugs. All of them have bugs and all will have. Bug free computer is as impossible to make as bug free operating system.
