Eventually the whole thing may be ported to a network bootable system.		Currently, there is a hard drive labeled '''EVAL 2''' in system evaluation 2 area (check the station next to the terminal).

	Some processors are mismarked. Look closely. If it says "NOT FOR RESALE" on it, it may be an experimental processor that has a different speed. For instance a proc marked "Pentium II 233 NOT FOR RESALE" was correctly detected as a "Pentium III 450". The key was to know that "NOT FOR RESALE" indicated that this was a prototype developed at Intel that an engineer took home and later donated to Free Geek.		Some processors are mismarked.

 This process is in development. It's an attempt to add to the functionality of [[System Evaluation]].
