Great! Thanks for the good news, I've just ordered one of these
(Netfinity 3000, Pentium II, 400MHz, 128MB, etc). Seems like I shouldn't
get into trouble when installing Linux! :-)

And thanks for the tips about the Ethernet adapter. Will definitely save
me some time!

My contact is a close friend working for IBM as a marketing manager.
I've just asked him if he could give me the e-mail address of the right
person to contact about this topic. Will post it as soon as I get
something new!

Thanks for the feedback
