With 32 Meg how well do these run?
Does the CI equire any upgrades?
I've got my Mac IIsi running Debian 2.2 (?) on only 6M of RAM... I haven't
tried to run X or anything, but (framebuffer) text-mode works just fine,
and I can access the network just fine with it.

Seriously, I have a chance to trade some PC stuff for either a IIsi
or a IIci. Both are barebones - no harddrives, adapters or RAM.
Looking at LowEndMac and Apple support, I'm leaning toward the IIci,
but I thought for once I'd take advice *before* the aquisition.
It'll probably run either A/UX or Linux/m68k.
My main concern is RAM. They'll both take <100ns 30-pin
non-parity, right? Any other gotchas? Yes, I have a Nubus video
card.
That said, I enjoy IIsis and they are nice and small units. The first
Mac I actually owned was a IIsi. However, I have two IIcis -- one will
run A/UX soon, and the other runs NetBSD/mac68k and powers the
apartment network.
