I didn't try 9.1-release amd64. I have no intention of using amd64 because of past trouble with alignment in some ports. No need anyway: I am using 8.1-release i386 on our current T105, and am essentially going to clone all the functionality for the T110, and then abandon the T105. I am about halfway through that effort so far, no trouble at all. It will serve a LAN with about 20 clients. The T105 is hardly loaded at all; the T110 is replacing it for two reasons: T105 is six years old and has had two major failures recently (PS quit, and a drive wore out); needed more HD space. So bought a new machine. I do run 8.2-release amd64 on my laptop - a Dell E6520. Nice. Karl Dunn kdunn@acm.org
