Yea, Curently I am looking for around 40-100 486/100 or some K5/75-100
For some month I have send around 40 HP Vectra XA 5/200MMX to Kurdistan ;-))
This HighPerformanc Machines running Debian/WOODY with fvwm2, Mozilla
and OpenOffice.org... Oh yes, they have 96 MByte of memory...
So I will say, they have no money to spend much more, but they can work...

pam for example...
But the pam-libs are the HELL !!!
Full Distros are too big for the old Computers so I am looking for a

Never I have used it... I think, I must try it out. Parallel I will ask a
distributor of TEAC in Germany to get the FD-235HF in Big-Pack chaper...
If I must use two FD I do not like to spend 14 Euros for each drive.
