Which is why I am not keeping the server - with a

I don't have the time or funds to dink with RS/6000 equipment. It would make
someone a nice unit though with a few parts put back in it. Never messed
with an Apple server, I'd be lost on that.
The Apple Network Servers were just rebadged RS6k's -- they even ran
AIX, although IIRC only 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 since they were discontinued
so quickly, and even then not exactly *stock* AIX. They'll run Linux
quite happily, I'm told -- this might sneak under the 10-year rule,
but Terrasoft, that makes the Yellow Dog Linux distribution for
powerpc, managed to get a whole bunch of ANS700s and is selling them
as servers at <http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/>.
