How easy is the install ? As the FAQ states, this box should work fine. Graphics hardware will be supported when documentation is available or someone manages to reverse-engineer it. Perhaps you'd like to volunteer? The install is a trivial matter for experienced hackers, an annoyance to people who've never strayed outside the chartered bounds of commercial Linux on peecees, and a source of unending pain and grief for newbies. Unfortunately it's getting easier all the time. -- Keith M Wesolowski <wesolows@foobazco.org> http://foobazco.org/~wesolows ------(( Project Foobazco Coordinator and Network Administrator ))------ "Nothing motivates a man more than to see his boss put in an honest day's work." -- The fortune file
