I can offer a 3 GHz Pentium 4 with 1 GB RAM BUT ONLY for a week. Is this
worthwhile? It is running Windows XP, so VNC is no problem. But I'm happy to 
install a GNU/Linux on it. I have Mandrake 10 to hand, and old copies of Red 
Hat could probably be dug up. Or I could install a Knoppix on to the hard 
drive. And then figure out how to set up ssh for you....

I'll see if I can make a more permanent offer later. How long standing is this 
request?
