X installed and worked fine, but the internal graphic was to slow to playback xvid-movies with mplayer, an external pci-graphic card should solve this. The soundchip was supported out of the box too. Right now I have a Via EPIA PD10000 (with two 10/100MBit LAN adapters onboard) with 512MB RAM running as a home dsl router / gateway / print-/fileserver but only for a small amount of not important data with one harddisk drive. I am quite happy with it, since it get its job done and does not use much electricity.=20 To give you an idea of its speed: a 'make buildworld' of FreeBSD 5.4 is done in about 2 hours.=20 Andreas --=20 GnuPG key : 0xD25FCC81 | http://cyb.websimplex.de/pubkey.asc Fingerprint: D182 6F22 7EEC DD4C 0F6E 564C 691B 0372 D25F CC81 --=-KtjlvGd0qwEieoM09ShV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCufBNaRsDctJfzIERAoANAJ9inTcrKY9Rp8A4wtu1+dLy7yug7gCcDxF0 6nMQw4kLy7tio3BQQTL12hg= =YtkF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-KtjlvGd0qwEieoM09ShV--
