For the Ultra 20, I can say it works pretty well with RELENG_6_1 (32-bit). % uname -mrs FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE i386 % uptime 1:13PM up 121 days, 1 min, 2 users, load averages: 0,04 0,01 0,00 SATA, sound[1], USB, DVD burner, the weird nVidia's NIC, and the graphics card work without issues (so far). I do, however, added the second NIC (Intel PRO 10/100) as I don't exactly trust the nve(4) driver yet (even though it seems to work on this particular motherboard). There is no high load on the machine, just a workstation with X.org and KDE. [1] snd_ich -- Krzysztof Kowalik | () ASCII Ribbon Campaign Computer Center, AGH UST | /\ Support plain text e-mail
