The space is nice however, > I am thinking that we can boot a lot faster from a CD ... not so much the speed booting, but think of what you could put on 650megs of space? you could do a nice Xserver with that... where you grab the xf86 config file off of some anon ftp server or something... you would have complete local fonts... for $450 you could get a 8x cdrom, 32megs ram, 4meg video card (s3 virge based), k5/133, keyboard, mouse... add $200 to $1000 for a monitor and you have a nice xterminal... :) -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking P.O.
