Re: anyone ever try OpenBSD on a Geode GX CPU?

[Kevin <kongnamool@yahoo.com>]

The little Shuttle box works great with OpenBSD 2.9,
3.0 but only has one PCI slot...  And to answer
Diana's question, the ethernet does not support PXE or
remote boot functions. Come to think of it, the
Flytech box I recommended earlier probably doesn't
have this ability as well. :-(
