Yeah... it seems as though the LX is the un-4m... :)

I've heard of people having audio working on the LX (with DBRI,
same as the 10 and 20, but I don't hear a peep outa my SS10).
A coworker also told me that X runs nicely in RH 6.0 on his LX,
while it croaks within 5 minutes on my SS10.  (I'm dual-booting
RH and Debian.)

But yeah... it remains that 2.2.7 does not work on my machine.
After SILO, maybe a line or two is printed out (I'm not near
my machine at the moment), and the machine locks up hard (no
Stop-A's to save me)...
