Great news.

That's all I'm planning for the site anyway.  I also like this idea of 
"I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" it sort of fits in to the whole
Open Source/Free Software thing.

I do but you can get your own for free.  Go to www.debian.org and follow the
Get ISO links.  Just get the first ISO - it has all you need to get the 
machine up.  They point it at the net and "apt-get dist-upgrade".

Let me know if you need more help, but there is plenty of stuff on the 
Debian website for how to install.  I managed to install a SGI MIPS machine
with absolutely no media at all.  It wouldn't have helped - there was no
floppy or cdrom drive in the machine anyway.
