hi everyone,

a while ago i got my hands on a SS1+ and tried RH6.2.
wasted a couple of good weekends on it but couldn't even get it to
boot properly.

by chance i came across BSD and the install went flawless.

i'm intending to use this as a small router.
does this make any sense ? or is the poor old thing just way too slow.
a simple ping returns w/ a delay of 2-3 ms. while on my other pc's
it's less than a ms.
