Hi Paul,=20

I use a VIA EPIA PD-10000 as a small dsl- router / ftp / print /
whatever-server for my LAN here at home running FreeBSD 5.4. The NICs,
HDD, USB, CLI work fine. Audio and X-Windows should work too. (I have
only tested this on an EPIA M-10000, but there it worked without any
problems. The onboard graphic chip is fast enough for most 2D
application, but it was to slow for me to playback xvid/divx, but an
additional PCI graphic card should solve this problem.) When transfering
data via ftp I get about 10MB/s up/down. Make buildworld takes about two
hours. All in all, it is a nice system and fits my needs. I like it.

Andreas
