It supposed to be development but I'll be blowed if I can crash it :-)
On the other hand my main headless 1.3.3 (GENERIC Dec 11, 1998)
system wedged solid the other day after 18months uptime - so I want my
money back :-) I know I should have upgraded it, buts its the workhorse
so will have to wait.
This is on an ABIT VP6 with 933MHz/256Mb

How are going to use it? I built this just with IDE disks, GENERIC
kernel + MP, headless to see how good it is. All motherboards I've
bought in the last month or so have been MP, it works for me....
This mailing list gave me everything I needed to make the decision
and build one, there is no web site for it.
