It is an MS-6215. But it is calling itself a Slim PC on the manual. It's pretty cool. I had a Cyrix 3 processor lying around that works great in it. I know that Mandrake will run X on this thing just fine, but FreeBSD doesn't seem to be able to do it. So I'll just stick another vid in it and run OpenBSD. I got it to carry to work and to meetings and such. It fits in my bag great...
