Hopefully with support for recent hdwe. The last time I tried it, it didn't like my then new AMD Phenom hdwe. That was 2 or 3 motherboards in this tower ago, so I won't bad mouth today's. That Phenom must have been happy running win-98 but was definitely unhappy running linux when kernels were in the mid-2's. IRQ latencies ran in the 3 digits worth of milliseconds range.
Take care & stay well, Felix. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
