Well, that sounds eerily as if it doesn't meet the "not homebrew" portion
of my e-mail [;-)], but sure -- I'd be very interested.  As luck would
have it, just yesterday I ordered a 1GHz Athlon SBC, 40 GB drive, and
power supply [actually, supplies: one to go from A/C to D/C, the other to
go from D/C to the -right- D/C], for around $370.  While this puppy's
final destination is my guest room -- need something quiet for the web
server -- it'd obviously make a fine testbed.  Is it the current issue of
Maximum Linux?  I'm going to Nashua tomorrow, and would be willing to fork
over the $10 or whatever it is to buy it.  If, however, it isn't, yes,
please do send me a photocopy:

I'll be glad to reimburse you in your chosen form of remuneration: money,
beer, etc.

Thanks!
