P.S. What do you expect? ;) I've always got my hands in something, my foot
embedded in my mouth, and .
I have succeeded in getting it to not only install but also to run (correction
- waddle). As yet, I haven't got anything running on it, and having more
memory would definitely be an advantage. ;)
But still, it's running (correction - waddling).

It's available as source or as rpms,
