I'm using an EPIA 6000 as a workstation in the kitchen. I boot FreeBSD-5.2 diskless so it's silent. Since there is no disk heat, I can also unplug the CPU fan. Totally silent. Very nice. Not a speed demon, but plenty fast for surfing and such. I'll probably do the same for the next machine I buy for my office: I find it a lot easier to code and think without fan and disk noise. (The server's in the basement with a bunch of RAID disk). I had X11 working on the built-in chipset with an older snapshot port, but the recent one doesn't work for me. I haven't tried heavy duty multimedia stuff nor decss and such on it. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
