It'll fly when I add 128 or 256 Meg of RAM in Linux.
It already boots Knoppix and recognizes all hardware
with just 128 Meg of RAM.

It appears to be a server class machine and very generic 
in setup with little to no proprietary crap.

I'm exceedingly happy to have it and it works quite well.
When fully upgraded with RAM and new hard drive it'll
suit ALL my needs for the next few years.
