actually, its not hooked up to the network right now.. but Its working absolutely awesome so far.. Im not running a desktop on it, but I do have VNC installed running icewm for remote gui stuff.. and also the FreeNX server emerged and works great as well.. Im in the process of converting my current server @ monsterjam.org over to it.. Itll be running my firewall, print server, apache/php, mysql, samba, dhcp, ntp, and other things.
but im running 2.6.17 on it and its been flawless so far.. Ill get you my USE statement tonight.
