We need a place to house this modern wonder of Linuxism. Does anyone have
space and bandwidth to spare?

I have about 4 HP Vecta VL 5/75 (75 MHz Pentium) systems I've been
wanting to sell at a garage sale, but would donate to the cause if
you're serious (and acutally want them!). 16 or 32 Megs of ram,
on-board video/IDE, and I can probably scrounge 1-2 Gig IDE drives for
them if necessary. I even have a couple of spare power supplies for
them. I also have lots of IBM 2G narrow SCSI drives (full height 3 1/2
inch), if anyone has controllers...
...oh, and you can have any of my 486 hardware you want, too...I've even
got a system with VLB SCSI RAID (dual IBM 2Gig drives in a RAID-1
mirror), that was my web server (based on LRP, and running thttpd) until
I moved my office. Woo-Hoo!
Should we have a contest for the oldest/cheesiest hardware with linux
currently installed? Anyone got any working 386 stuff? 486-sx? I
actually bit the bullet and pitched a bunch of ancient machines when I
moved, or I'd be in the running with a 386sx system I used to test
firewall software...
