Hm...well, I was going to put GNU/LINUX on a spare machine anyway,
to see where they were at these days.  Right now, that machine
has no hard drive and the only CD drive in it is a SCSI CD-RW
with which I have never managed to boot.  (Or, perhaps I should
say, I've not managed to boot off of any drive attached to
the SCSI controller that it's using; (^&.)

But I probably wouldn't bother attaching a good monitor
to it.  But I imagine that it's not too hard to pull images
from it over ethernet, if I can get a compatible webcam
attached.

Ah.  I didn't know about that site.  Thanks.

That helps quite a bit.
