ask him how much and if it's reasonable to you. buy it and use it. i had one when i was in school. my professor gave it to me but i don't know how much those machine cause nowaday. it came with Solaris. i used it to run Apache. Perl, C++ etc and it runs great. when the machine finally ran out of disk, i gave up on it because i don't know how to change/upgrade to a bigger/newer disk. i don't know much about the hardware side of the machine. but if you just want to play with Linux,Apache,CGI,Perl etc, it should have no problem. david -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
