We have tested FreeBSD 2.1 on the P6 (I refuse to call it the
Pentium Pro, sorry :-) and it works just fine.  In fact, ftp.cdrom.com
will become a 200Mhz P6 system (based around the new P6 MB from ASUS) just
as soon as the parts we've ordered arrive.  More on this topic once
that happens and we've had a chance to beat on the configuration a little.
