(going somewhat off-topic) Yeah, I've got both an IBM RS/6000 and
several small Sun machines in my LUG, and the Suns are definitely more
pleasant to work with when it comes to installing GNU/Linux via
netboot.  The RS/6000 managed to bring our entire hub down with boot
requests.  I've never seen a collision light be a steady red before.
