Ja, I kinda figured that... :(

I can get a good deal on something not-state-of-the-art that would still 
be much faster than my current box, so it's still a consideration. 
Thanks especially for your recommendation re: hard-disk, I'll follow up 
on that too. Btw, is there support for that disk in the 2.4 kernel 
series ? I'm not planning a kernel upgrade at this time and would rather 
avoid it right now.

Best,
