I've never put Linux on an Armada, but all I know is that we (at the
University of Dayton) have had no ends of problems with these machines.
ESPECIALLY in the docking stations.
And also, being a true Compaq machine, the BIOS setup utility is on a tiny
DOS partition at the front of the drive. The BIOS acutally uses DOS!!!
ICK!
