        All that made excellent sense to me. I went back to the local
linux forum where I had offered the machine, and started a reply, with
an expatiation of these ideas pretty well worked out in my head.

        Then I noticed that the "newbie" runs Gentoo. Shudda thunka
that, right off the bat ....

	My apologies for wasting bandwidth; but my thanks for the good 
thoughts, which I'll bear in mind next time I get a real case.
