I gave someone on the list a DEC Microvax 3300, but I can't remember who
it was. Anyway, I've turned up a bunch of serial cables and adaptors
for it. Drop me an email off-list if you want them.

It's very hard to buy a machine with Linux already installed, unless
you're buying a server. In which case, you'd probably want to install
