When the alpha stuff was brought up on the list recently regarding the
"need", I asked and there was some productive info given by you (I think it
was) or someone else as to what to get "minimum"

:-)

That machine was a candidate according to the specs that were given.

I was bidding on it and was going to buy it for CentOS yet noone got back to
me on the list fast enough so I didn't continue bidding...

Also, noone said if CentOS recv'd a machine yet.

Has anyone called HP or have an contacts in HP to get a machine donated?

Just like God has the biggest hands of all to bless people with... HP has
bigger hands than I do in helping CentOS with an Alpha.
