Dear FreeBSD-ers

Just wanted to let you know that 4.5-Release installs and runs
perfectly on the much discredited AS2100A (aka Lynx)

Stability and performance running apache with mod-ssl, php, mysql 4 and
postgresql 7.2 has been exellent so far. 

Owners of simmilar machines will be well served by this release

On a completely unrelated subject that might be of interest to Andrew
i've been doing some experiments with DRM for an ATI Rage 128 on linux,
that worked exellently on an AS800 with a 500Mhz 21164a, but only if the
modules where compiled with -O -mcpu=ev56, -O2 -mcpu=ev56 locking the 
machine completely. So, it seems the problems are not completely 
alleviated by -mcpu=ev56. 

Regards.
Thanks for all the good work
Roberto
