I am running it on my 3100/80, no real problems I could think of, though
it took ages to generate an ssh key, so the first boot took a little
while.

Other than that, it comes with more software than say NetBSD (nothing that
I never compiled anyway).

Also one thing though I cant remember 100% is that the net boot
procedure may be a little differnt.
