I've bought it without an OS, and tried some linux install CDs and dvd's I have. With some worrying results: - One installDC stopped cold when booting --- nothing worked anymore, no ctrl+alt+del, no alt+sysrq, no power off button --- needed a hard reset with the true power off button. - A gentoo live DVD I got with a computer magazine showed similar behaviour when I (foolishly) tried to start evmsn: the program started scanning for disks and locked up HARD: -- no ctrl+alt+backspace, no ctrl+alt+del, no at+sysrq+b, no power off button. Needed to poweroff the machine. The computer is an intel system, with a DQ35JO motherboard, two SATA HDs (I want to setup a raid system), and a PATA DVD drive (no internal DVD writer, I have an external one already). I found pointers to some troubles with this motherboard - is this a problem for the install-CD, or should I only better not use evms? - Worried in Vienna -- Wolfgang Liebich
