The T-class systems are not supported under the PaLinux stuff. That
particular model is about the size of a refrigerator. It weighs around
200lbs and will cost about $35/mo in electrical to keep it running. It
will run the cooling bill up as well. In short, it's a beast!

That said, an 8-way system (even at 120MHz) is still pretty cool! HPUX
is a business system OS so it has few "fun" toys.Somewhere around my
office I have a set of CD's HP sent me for installing gcc and gnome
stuff onto an HPUX system. Old gnome stuff. Think RedHat 6.1. But it
_still_ looks better than CDE!!

**NOTE** I want to _stay_ married. Don't even _OFFER_ it to me! <twitch>
I can get away with sneaking in old SGI hardware. But HP stuff is on the
"sleeping on the couch" list.
