standardizing hardware

Jonathan,

	Preliminary Hapy and Spirit results were based on "BSD1"
environment. I would like to reproduce Spart results on the same box
so that we get a better comparison. This means that I need to run
Windows. Assuming I have a hard drive to spare, what would it take to
reproduce the necessary environment to run Spart tests? I can install
Windows 2000 or 2003, but I do not want to purchase additional MS
products. Will your binaries work?

	This does not imply that I want to limit published results to
the results obtained on that designated box. The more
results/environments we have in the Repository the better. I just
think it would be nice to have a baseline setup that we reuse as much
as we can: BSD1, Linux1, NET1, etc., all based on the same hardware.

Thanks,

Alex.
