I haven't found any yet I have a potato/slink system running on a PIII

Are there any motherboards to avoid?

A bit off-topic question.
If the machine were used as a samba server serving approx. 50 diskless
clients that run M$ Office, would the machine handle them properly? I'm
just asking the capability of smbd.

I have a PIII-500 cpu on a tyan s1830 mb that seems
quite stable.  Only problem I've had so far is that
the built in USB HW dosen't seem to work under windows
98, I havn't tried the USB drivers under linux 2.2.x
yet.  (That would be a suprise if Linux handled the
usb hw fine and windows didn't!)
