With any luck I'll be able to talk 'em into a cheap deal - especially seeing as it's costing them a fair whack per month for floor space rental in a data centre, even though it's switched off ...

I'm a bit confused by this. I thought the HP 375 was a PA-RISC thingy. Certainly there have been numerous people on this list talking about getting their 315's or whatever to boot the parisc-linux kernel. Had me a look at the HW database, and it says the 375 carries a 'PA7000' processor. (As a side note, the link for this in the database, "http://216.208.98.4/view.php3?type=cpu&name=PA7000 (PCX-S)", made my proxy server unhappy. Dropping the " (PCX-S)" off the end of it helped.) Is a PA7000 not a PA-RISC chip? Showing my ignorance, Andrew. -- Andrew Shugg http://www.neep.com.au/ "Just remember Basil, there's always someone worse off than yourself." "Oh, really?
