I would like to compile a "Hardware FAQ" for Coherent, LINUX and 386BSD. Please take a few minutes to fill out the following questionaire regarding what hardware you are currently using or have used in the past with Coherent, LINUX and 386BSD. The satisfaction questions are intended to be somewhat open ended but answers might include both performance and level of support from your OS. If you don't know the answer to a question, leave it blank. If the response is good, I will compile and post the results to the net. Your participation is appreciated.
