Well I haven't worked out the problems with the box yet. It still hangs
a a regular basis, no mattr what I do. I'm just assuming that it's one
of the well documented 2.2.12 SMP bugs, and I'm waiting for 2.2.13.
However, I guess that it could be the X server.

Well in terms of performance... superb. I don't know about reliability,
but I've never seen better performance. (Admittedly, it's a G400 and I
specifically bought it since I heard that its X performance was second
to none.)
