I've got FreeBSD running on a Precision 410. It absolutely smokes. I was actually taken aback at how smoothly it all went (I'm more accustomed to battling 486's with iffy hardware and wacked-out configs from M$ OS days). The only thing that is a "problem" is the integrated soundcard does not work... not that we have speakers or have ever really tried to use it. Now, the 410's have the i440BX chipset, but the systems do still have a lot in common (the 420 has no ISA bus, mind you). I just thought it might have some relevance.
