OI a p-90 is anything but vintage. If you want to talk
about vintage Linux, get a 386 and we'll consider it
maybe. OI
 I did pick up a book entitled "Plug and Play Linux"
last year at TCF. The disk was included *bad* but the
cd was not unfortunately. I can't seem to remember
what distro was included, I want to say Yggdrasil, but
I'm probably wrong. In any event it probably should
have been dubbed plug-n-pray. Anyone know what I'm
talking about, or have the cd?
 The cover had this illustration on it:
