Sure... the only thing is that here it is 2pm on Sat and I've yet to
get started even downloading the software. Here's what I do have:

The athlon, which is running Windows, only it has a spare 15GB hd that
I was going to put linux on. I think I'm going to start preparing the
15GB drive now.

The celeron, which is running Gentoo, is pretty much ready to go only
that I should probably ditch gentoo and go with Debian since a) my
gentoo portage cache is whacked-out, and b) debian is a little more
stable to be doing this kinda stuff with. I still have to get some
stuff off of there so I can wipe it.

If anyone else would be interested, we could try to set it up and
demonstrate it at a meeting or something.
