Ah...that heater had an innovative heating element. Despite being better than other heating elements, HP has stopped making that element and switched to an "emerging industry standard" element that isn't quite as easy to use. The result: many of these older heaters are showing up in the used/resale/auction marketplace. While you might be able to install Linux on it, I have to warn you: it will probably run "hot". :) Note: the above won't read as funny if Carlos wasn't talking about a real space heater :) For real HP PA-RISC computers, there's no "space heater" like a 9000 J280, one of the first 64-bit PA-RISC workstations :) Turn it on, and it starts blasting heat out the back! -- Stan Sieler work: www.allegro.com personal: www.sieler.com/wanted/index.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
