Hi Ray,I am very happy with my system, its been a worthwhile upgrade. Initially I had teething problems with the the system setup as many of the supermicro features were new to me. Its easy to brick a server board with the wrong settings and then be forced into research to find out how to unbrick it. A very different experience from the consumer market. This website is godsend to me as everyone here are knowledgeable of high end systems, [particuarly supermicro], that are solid, stable, powerful, and can grow with need.
The benchmark test ran smooth for both the official and dev003 versions. The results seem "as expected", but I don't have anything to compare them to. Please note, I only have one cpu in a dual system, which is a non-standard configuration. The second CPU is not "needed" at this time. (I can double up the computing power anytime - the system is future proof - my main long term goal)
Low power consumption has been a surprise. The bios set to performance - energy efficient, which seems to be a reasonable power plan. With all the devices and 2 monitors plugged into the same UPS, the system typically draws 180 watts and may peak up to 350Watts. On sleep, it draws 100 watts, which is mostly the external drive. I have the standard supermicro passive cpu cooler, and the cpu never goes above 65C. Also the fact that the xeon v2 and v3 chips are drop in replacements is a outstanding feature of the of the 602 based motherboards [with bios update] .
I've emailed Patrick the results of the official test, with all the setup data stripped out. ( i don't know how to attach the log here) Sharing the test results is fine by me as I'd like to find out where my system stands.
As a suggestion, PPBM5 Benchmark Results does a nice job of evaluating members machines when it comes to video editing with premier pro. I do not have premiere pro nor am I interested in a 500MB download to run tests. The STH test was nice and simple in comparison.
And Patrick, I enjoy reading your front articles, they are well written and researched.
found out the STH email system has a message length limit. What the best way to upload the test results?
Ray

I think you should try compiling crafty from source BTWI did make a small edit to the CentOS/ RHEL side of Dev003.sh today. Found something missing when I tried it on the Rangeley platform.
May fold this into Dev004. Been getting compile errors today which is slowing things down. Argh!I think you should try compiling crafty from source BTW

I think those are all in build-essential right?The installation line (11) needs to have gcc, make and expect added for Debian.
So when I added this before Update_Install_Debian(), it ended up erroring out on my Ubuntu VM.You are right about build-essential. What is wrong, however, is that the apt-get has a reference to phoronix-test-suite which is not available on the debian repositories in which case the entire apt-get install after phoronix-test-suite is not applied. To fix this you should add this instead to the Update_Install_Debian() function:
wget -N http://phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/repo/pts.debian/files/phoronix-test-suite_4.8.6_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i phoronix-test-suite_4.8.6_all.deb
