    The Mini-ITX boards were reviewed on Tom's Hardware not long ago here

    "...and does floating point, so Ogg is possible."

    If you will recall, the XIPH team re-wrote the Ogg decoder so that it can run on systems that can only do integer math. "Several optimizations were made that resulted in the decoder being twice as fast. We've also tuned the code to be tolerant for those who implement Vorbis using integer-only math. This allows hardware and embedded devices to more easily support Ogg Vorbis playback." http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4416.

    There's a castlerock driver in xfree 86. Now. Finally.

    We're talking five days ago, mind. So don't feel so bad :)

    Two things of interest:
    1, The driver is a result of via and Alan Cox working together.
    2, Alan has been using an epia as his main box, and I quote:
    "I have two boxes with the relevant hardware. One of them is my desktop box and I've been running the driver as my main desktop for a couple of weeks now."

    Seal of approval, if ever I saw one.
