I've just bought a P4 board with an 845 chipset, so thanks for the tip. They're on quite a few boards, not just cheap ones. Red Hat 9 is out today (Red Hat Network members only). It'll be interesting to see if the Red Hat policy of breaking binary compatibility more often from now on - with the freely downloadable distro at least - will affect its suitability for audio workstation use. It seems the base distro isn't going to be marketed as a product - it's just a technology testbed for the non-free-beer Enterprise line now. There are bound to be other distros catching up with XFree 4.3 too. Cheers Daniel
