Recent overall gotchas have been only related to udma controller cards. Um...er...well... I have no choice! [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

Post #5,483 by admin 8/16/01 6:17:33 PM Reply	So far, no problem. Posting from it now in RedHat 7.1 at 1024x768 (small monitor; 21" to come). No microphone ports on the front that I can see... RH7.1 autodetected and configured everything... sound, enet, video, USB, etc. Nice. :-) Regards, -scott anderson
