Could do - but had Red Hat 8.0 handed to me on a platter.
One problem with this box - can't boot from CD. So any distro
must initally be bootable/installable from a floppy start.

Thanks - will check it out.

Good thought - and may go there eventually. But my router is
doing a great job so I'm trying to start win only one function,
an internal system on my LAN, but looking like a web server.
Thanks for your help,
