Minor note. Sound card seems to work OK through the speakers, but I have failed to find the magic to make the headphone jack work. I have not tried very hard, either. I keep procrastinating on the KMS stuff as I will REALLY miss switching to vtys. I made a quick attempt at the card reader, but had no luck finding a driver that would work. Still, the system has worked for me for at least 6 months, now. -- R.
