I'm using it with FreeBSD right now to type my mail. I've tried several Linux-distro's on this machine in the past and NONE of them worked as good as FreeBSD works now (Vector-Linux came close...). Everything goes more or less smooth (off-course I can't do too much regarding internet), no sudden program-kills so far, no reboots required EVER.
