Hernes" Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk We had one in here a while back. I know that I ran sco on it, but I cannot rembember for sure if I ran FreeBSD on it or not. I think I did. From the specs, the CPU seems to have more in common with the P6 than the Pentium. If I were looking for a new machine, I'd probably try one out.
