You are lucky, I would like to have it, K-class is nice! You don't need any particular pre-requisite but to read carefully the HP-PA install Howto. You need at least 500MB HDD space to install the OS, and you better have to re-compile the kernel to SMP use. No proplen, only a metter of time, considering the 1st time you can only use 1 processor. Then since you success the kernel recompilation you can't use all the 4 CPUs. I unfortunately install Debian GNU/Linux HPPA only on a HP9000/710 workstation at home! ;-P
