hmm, not 'too' heretical ;-) someone at uni today tried to persuade me that it
was a 'sun alpha' and that it could run NT, i didnt really give him a reply,
more of a histerical laugh

yeah, i found some stuff about 'machines available in the lab' etc and general
content from old uni pages,

i think ill put debian on it :-) besides the guy that gave me it included the
three deb 2.2r3 cds, 

(suddenly becomes tempted to become a sun debian mirror)

i will probably just play with it for a bit, dont know how big the disk is yet,
it is safe to say that over the next six weeks or so it will have had debian,
solaris and netbsd on it, i will settle on which OS when i think of somthing
useful for this little box to do :-)
