Me too. Some months ago, there was a lot of talk about problems with
Tyan Tomcat motherboards. Have these been resolved? Will a Tyan
Tomcat-4 work well with Linux? Or more generally, is there a list of
SMP motherboards known to work?

On a somewhat related question, can you install Linux (particularly
RedHat 5.0) on a machine without a video card (using the serial
console)? Any tricks besides passing in the serial= option when
booting?
