Qi-Hardware Nanonote group purchase?

[Tom Buskey]

I have 2 systems running recent OpenBSD releases for SSH portals.  One
is a Sun Sparc with 96 MB ram and the other is a VM with 32 MB
allocated to it.  I'm not sure I could do that with any major current
Linux dist.  Maybe Slackware on i386.  Open + Net BSD installs seem
similar to Slack.
