Neat toy. :)  If you can get CentOS running on it, it's hard to go  
wrong there.

The NetBSD freaks (I say that lovingly) make sure that every piece of  
hardware that can power up can get a current UNIX running on it.    
I've gone that route with some old mongrels that nothing else would  
work on (beyond what was in my InfoMagic CD collection).

If you just want to flip it for some coin, the word at MerriLUG was  
the Redhat engineers are buying up the last of these so they can  
thrown them off the roof of their building.
