Intel D946GZIS sound, video, nic?
I have the opportunity to install several low-end non-Windows desktops in a non-profit agency. Over the past 5 years; we've tried a handful of Linux distributions; each one a little better than the one before. I've watched OpenBSD progress a lot in desktop arena over this time period and I want to try it this time; despite my own negative experience with a lenovo laptop (which I still use anyway). We're going to get one system initially; if everything works out; we could get about a dozen systems next year. Windows and Linux users at this agency already use OpenOffice and Firefox on P3 systems. email client is either Outlook Express or Kmail; but I expect to get rid of Kmail. Our hardware supplier deals almost exclusively with Windows users (no surprise); in the low-end business market, they sell many systems with: Intel D946GZIS motherboard SigmaTel* STAC9227 audio codec Intel GMA 3000 onboard graphics subsystem 10/100 Intel 82562G Platform LAN Connect (PLC) Pentium Dual Core E2160 RAM 1G 80G hard disk LG GSA-H62N SATA DVD-RW I don't see the onboard sound/video/nic in i386.html? Our vendor says All of the newer Intel boards use the Intel 3000 GMA and the same NIC also; so I must be the one missing something here? There are no SATA DVD drives listed in i386.htm? Frank

My home box has a SATA DVD writer. The best advice I could give is that you build a -current boot cd or USB stick and try it. My aforementioned D945GCCR was all kinds of useless until the recent acpi-hackathon. CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
