Hi Francisco,

> Anyone used a mini ATX machine with FreeBSD?

It's mini ITX and yes, just did one yesterday. Small, quiet and 
beautiful. ;-)

It was a ME6000 (fanless 600Mhz machine):

I tried a 3com 3c905 with this box and it wouldn't boot. Putting in a 
RTL8139 worked flawlessly. Since the box won't be doing any 'real' work, 
that's okay with me for now.

HTH... Nico
