[wellylug] Via EPIA V10000 mobo with PLE133 chipset

[Robin Jury]

I do have a M9000 that I'm running Slackware 9 on.  The video drivers 
are in active development, part of the problem being getting Via to 
release more than binaries. MPEG decoding is a real issue, because of 
licencing issues apparently.  Check out linitx.org forums for info.

Apart from that they're neat little mobos.

cheers
