I'm running 5.0-DP2 on it, simply so the PCI pcmcia cradle + wireless card I have would be detected and work. 4.6-R, 4.7 release and stable, and 5.0-dp2 all work a charm on it. Very very very nice machines - if you want to reduce noise with them (my cpu fan made a bit of noise), try replacing the 6000rpm fan that comes on the board with something a little slower. CPU: VIA C3 Samuel 2 (800.03-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "CentaurHauls" Id = 0x678 Stepping = 8 Features=0x803035 The machine feels very very fast, I was quite amazed by it. Worthwhile $260AU investment :-) Enjoy, -- Andrew C Bergman acb at tassie dot net dot au This is what George Barnett at Thu, Dec 05, 2002 at 10:16:13PM -0000 wrote: > Hi, > > Has anybody got experience running a recent snapshot on one of these? > > I'm looking to get the C3 800 model and make a small fileserver for home use > and am looking for feedback on hardware compatibility / problems / etc. > > http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_mini_itx_spec.jsp?motherboardId=21 > > cheers > > --george > > --------------------- > George Barnett, scsa > > m: +44 778 884 7205 > e: george@alink.co.za > > I bought some batteries, but they weren't > included.
