Re: Debian on Digital 3305
I've emailed the maintainer of the compatibitlity list asking to have it
updated, but i guess it hasnt been.
I ran Debian on a Digital Server 3305, it ran fine. The only problem i
wasnt able to fix was that i couldnt get the burner i installed in it
going for the life of me.
If you're ever looking to get rid of that box, let me know, mine died a
few months ago, x86s just suck compared to Alphas eheh.
