We are going to be setting up a BSDI 2.1 machine within our company
and were wondering if anyone had good/bad experiences running the OS
on an IBM PC (non-MCA).  Our company is currently standardized on 
IBM equipment (outside of my control, no snide comments please :-), 
but we haven't seen much IBM hardware listed in any of the 
compatibility information that we've found.

We would greatly appreciate hearing of any advantages/disadvantages
associated with running BSDI on an IBM box.  Thank you for your 
time!
