If you get to bring that old 233, then I get to bring a Sparc 20 and do a stage 1...  :)

The course catalog says "Bring your own computer, Linux provided." 

Another E-mail you sent to the list says "the distro is Gentoo".  Thats a compiled distro, right?

If I brought in a Pentium 233Mhz system with 128MB of RAM, and its biggest hard drive is 2GB, would 
I hold the class back?  :)   

"Well class, we're going to have wait until April to cover actually using Linux, since Leo's 
machine will be done installing around then..."

Frankly, I'd like to learn how to install Gentoo, I've been wanting to do a compiled distro ever 
since Sorceror Linux came out.
