I have experienced more stability issues with non-Intel hardware in
the i386 than with real Intel hardware; but that's to be expected.

I understand Crusoe is amazing in Linux.  I'm a fan of Intel hardware
in general.  But I'm biased: I buy Oregonian products first, and the
vast majority of Intel's hardware is made in Hillsboro, Oregon.  And
the vast majority of that either along OR-8 or along the MAX
interurban rail line.
