Greetings Micheal,
Thanks for the tip, I had a look and also checked out:
http://www.snurgle.org/~griffon/bp6-linux.html
These problems look quite serious, repetitive complete lockups do not sound
like fun. Do you have good reasons for still going with the bp6?
I am going to have a closer look at the alternatives before I commit myself.

Thanks,
Matt
