a whopper of a lie..  I'm finally getting time to go back and do
some more work on it..

	OpenBSD (hi Mickey!) has a kernel that boots on a 712, but
it isn't a finished system. (aka, no install kernels yet,
certainly not the user environment.)

	The PARISC linux folks are getting a lot of help from
HP, and are at about the same stage as OpenBSD.

	About the only running UNIX like OS's for the 700 series
workstations seems to be HP-UX 10.20, and mkLinux/hppa.  HP-UX can
be aquired from the obvious source, and the mkLinux/hppa distribution
can be found at ftp://ftp.cirr.com/pub/hppa/mklinux or a link off
of http://parisc.workstations.org web site (which has a 1Gb disk
image you can lay directly on a disk.)
