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. :-) - rh -- Abba Communications Spokane, WA www.abbacomm.net
