I have a single-proc Octane at home that I've decided should be running with Linux, but I have been reading up online about the Experimental nature of the kernel in relation to the hardware. Since most of the info I found was dated 2006, I wanted to ask your (as a group) opinion on how stable / usable the Octane is today with the current kernel. I'm not adverse to bleeding edge, I just want to know whether or not I'll be struggling on something that just doesn't have enough drivers written for it to make it usable. Just in case anyone asks, I'll probably be using Gentoo, but I'm not glued to that distro. (I'm very agnostic and just prefer it to work the best vs. distro-warring..) Thanks a bunch! Ed
