If you're thinking about buying an ALIX and you are not sure if it's going to do the trick, well, I'm not very sure, but I think it will work just fine. I have an ALIX 2C3 (Geode LX800 @500MHz) and would make some tests. PS: Are you subscribed to freebsd-es list as well? I think I've seen you there. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkoPIKcACgkQsGqVGJtK6HqbtQCgjIYCX8azYviyRTvRNYrObEyY 8lcAnif76j55+5GTtwzVRcc7n/UjhODe =WB// -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
