The new board (CL one) with two network interfaces is the perfect small motherboard.

2 ATA133/6 usb2.0/1 firewire/1Ghz/not-so-bad-AGP-VGA/crappy AC97 sound/very small form factor.

I'm going to add a pci prism2.5 board and a little couple of hds (320Gb) so it would be my storage server :)

I'll boot it from usb, with dl, of course. The problem with the cpu was that old motherboards didn't support xchg instructions, and many software (like openssl) will fail to run.

Because of that, a proper entry has been added to the kernel cpu options. In old kernels, you should build them as 386.
