Anything you find out about q700s will be appreciated. I use a Powerbook Pismo for my daily stuff but would like to dedicate my quads to slow crunching. In the old days we used to use an old old, at the time quite new and modern, Commodore 64 for doing fourier transforms. The big problem was getting a problem finished before the power would go out, which happened about twice every ten days or so.
So, let me know if there is anyone running a modified or straight linux system on the Q700s. I could be enticed into working on linux on the 700s.
