    I've been running an EPIA M 600MHz fanless for a couple months. I'm
    running it diskless (booting from a FreeBSD-5.0 server and NFS
    mounting from it too) so that it's silent. It's not the fastest thing
    I've seen but is generally adequate.

    Kitchen# uname -a

    I haven't seen the network problems you have mentioned (just checked
    the logs and dmesg). I see that the thread started in December 2002;
    perhaps more recent code has fixed this?
