    : FreeBSD runs fine on the 586Core (and 586Base). Compulab also responds to
    : support emails.

    We're using the 586Core board on a system here that needs to run in a
    very small space (smaller than the soekris boards fit into even).
    We've had excellent response from Compulab on our questions as well.

    Their serial BIOS is a pain to use, but for most applications it
    doesn't matter at all...
