Toni, have you published a list of the hardware thats been causing you problems? My experience has been different. Sure, newer hardware can have things like an ethernet chip that isn't yet supported, but that gets fixed over time in the vast majority of cases. Overall though, i386 stuff just works for me. Apologies if you've already done this. Knowing what things out there that don't (yet) work would benefit everyone, I think. --STeve Andre'
