[Gllug] Fancy a challenge for the Installfest?

[DCLUSELLS]

Hi everybody,

Although is my first message I've been around for more than half year, 
though at first I couldn't understand 90%. 70 out of these 90 because 
my poor English understanding and the other 20 because I'm a little bit 
out of practice trying to improve the other 70.

Well, let's go. Going back home from the market I found a computer a 
sall had left behind. From my experience in markets (big experience 
here in London). I imagine they leave everything they can't sell in 
several weeks, as they always have more.

For several circumstances I had it in a corner until I could open it 
and I saw amazed a Risc computer. When I could look it up in Internet I 
saw all the stuff about Acorn.

Unfortunatelly I don't have a keyboard for it. I tried one with Windows 
keys but it didn't work properly (and now I know that it works). And by 
then I had no mouse so I don't know whether it works. The computer 
itself works perfectly.

In normal circumstances I'd be the first in enjoying playing with it 
but I don't have time nor resources. In the last LinuxExpo in Olympia 
the guy in the ARM stall told me that Linux couldn't be put on the 
ACORN A4000 but now looking at the internet I've seen it possible. Any 
chance?

If nobody accept the challenge but anyone wants it just let me know. It 
is interesting having a Risc computer at home but useless.
