Hi,

I know, I wasn't suggesting it was.... ;-)

It's just that it's the only machine I have lying around at the moment, 
capable of running *nix, which is relatively complete (anyone got a spare 
set of mounting rails for a floppy drive and a CD-ROM drive for an HP 
Vectra, I've mislaid mine).

Fresh out of '386s, would an "XT-286" do?

I was more concerned with running it on a VAX/SGI/Sun/NeXT box 
though....rather have a single distribution for all of them rather than 
having to learn the niggles and vagueries of several different 
distributions.
