which prebuilt linux boxes seem to work best?

[Jason Custer]

No, I put it on mine, but I think they are putting it on now. You may want
to call and ask...1800gateway (18004283929). I love my gateway and never
lock up because of hardware. I use a dtlk synth on the only isa port on my
board. If you get a gateway, I obviously have experience, so let me know.
