I have 8 IBM Netfini running now Etch and the where working with Woody
since I have upgraded from it over Sarge to Etch. And right, the Debian
Stock-SMP-Kernel will not work. You have to install the 386 and then
roll your own one for SMP. But since the Netfinis have between 256 and
512 MByte of Memory, one can install Etch direct today.
I would not reccommend to install Lenny which will hit the Limit for
P2/200.
