Yep, installed the generic-pc image (this was back when PB16 was the newest) following the directions, worked like a charm right off the bat. Since then, I've just done upgrades through the web interface, also works perfectly. I'm using some antique P233 MMX AT board with a standard good old hard drive attached as a master to the primary IDE controller, and 3 NIC cards plus 1 video card plugged into the 4 available PCI slots. Certainly nothing special, just spare parts I scrounged up out of my desk draw.
