[geeks] The Mini-ITX box is done!

[Kevin]

I'm not sure of the configuration, but i recall from my old
school 3D Studio days, several 486 systems using more than 64
megs of RAM.

What?  I don't use Gnome on my Xeon at work, much less a 486. 
What does Gnome have to do with RHEL not supporting 486 class
systems?
