I'm running ML9.0 on an SV24 with a DVD-rom and Hauppage WinTV card as an entertainment system.
I've put 512MB and a 1.1GHz Celeron in it.
It's more than adequate for replacing my TV, tuner, CD Player and adding DVD playback to the living room.
My wife runs Star Office in her Windows PC and prefers it on the SV24 under Linux as it's much stabler and faster (on comparable equipment)
Mandrake figured out everything including the TV/Tuner card on the first go.
Some bumbling operator (me) messed up the install by trying to test too many DVD playback and AVI recording and sound-processing applications at the same time, but my wife bought me my own SV25 to play with so I'd leave the (her) entertainment system alone.
I've been recommending the system to anyone who wants a good small system.

Subject: [newbie] Mandrake on Shuttles
To replace my aging second-hand Dell I'm thinking of buying one of these
remarkable machines. Down with the huge, hideous box!
http://us.shuttle.com/
http://www.enigine.com/
(in particular, the SG Athlon-based model).
Has anyone installed Mandrake 9.0 on one of these; if so, how did it go?
(As a bonus the enigine Web site illustrates the "Microsoft tax" - at least
£88, or 14 per cent of the cost of the system :)
