What humble equipment might that be?

This 1998 IBM I'm using for the moment?
Two other boxes now share the room since yesterday and also one from
the day before?

All 64 bit dual processors.
One AMD 64 full tower white box.
Two Intel inside dual core 2.8 GHz each with a Gig of DDR SDRAM

Really way too far over the top quality stuff with every perk imaginable.

I'm going to load Phoenix Linux on these over Windows just in order
to evaulate it for others, then off goes Phoenix and back comes Slackware.

See RAC Computers just moved to a larger location and the owner Ray
had a bulk purchase of systems he rehabilitates and sells for $175

I bought THREE for $65 because he's got too heavy a client work load
just now to take the time to refurbish these systems.

So he's having a sell off.

I'd have liked to have snagged the 21" monitor at $30 as well but < $

I did ALL THREE yesterday.
One DOA DVD RW - CD-ROM  RW

Two have DVD players and the third has a CD-RW as well.
Two have Intel motherboards and 2.8 GHz dual core 64 bit Pentiums.
The SAME motherboards despite being branded differently.

Hey, just off the top of my head and no referal to notes.

Hey a half page of notes gets you setup and running sweetly.

Coming to acquire that half page a bit of learning through doing.

I do have you in my address book and if you require it I can attach it
however why not just download it?

Let me know if you need it attached for some reason not being 
able to download it.
