I will be trying over the next week to use MDK 9.0 rc2 to set up a small
office terminal server. I will keep all posted as to how it goes.
A question:
Is there any hardware on my list that may not have the nessicary software
developed to use it with Linux and MDK 9.0?
broadcom gigabit nick works without a hitch.
If any one has made use of any of these components and has tips to share I
would greatly appriciate the tips.
Do you think this is enough to handle being at least a half decent terminal
server?
Only ran across one major hitch when loading rc2, it will not run in smp
mode. Seems to hang and reboot around the isapnp portion of init. This
motherboard has no isapnp how can I turn it off?
