Although I have never tried loading FreeBSD on one of them, they seem to work fine with MS-Windows and the price is right. I would suppose you can load FreeBSD if you install a FreeBSD-supported NIC into it. The e-machines are not high end, but then they at the bottom of the price range too, you (usually) get what you pay for. Still, they seem to be reliable enough to do something useful with (just ditch the winmodem, but then, even $2500 PCs come with winmodems nowadays). _________________________________________________________________________ Chris Smith American Group Administrators IT Department First National Administrators ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Hovey" <shovey@buffnet.net> To: "Rick Hamell" <hamellr@heorot.1nova.com> Cc: <bmcalpine@macconnect.com>; "FreeBSD Questions (E-mail)" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 12:05 PM Subject: Re: E-machine > > > Has anyone on the list had any luck getting an e-machine 533id to work with > > > BSD?
