Mine went together alright,but the board is kind of flaky,It's working
fine now.
After a bit of tweaking with everything! I've run linux before,back in
95-97,but the system I was using then was a compaq deskpro,and there was
a lot of stuff that I couldn't get to work right,(X primarily), and I
had to boot off of a floppy,because of the way the computer itself was
set up.
