I should have thought of that. I have not found any indication that anyone
has gotten Linux to work on a R947X at all, so I also meant to ask if at
least this is possible. We can run the test environment on any NT server,
but it would be nice to continue using such a reliable machine as the old
HP for something useful. Paying for a HPUX lisence is not exactly in our
interest, though..

So this idea of ours is somewhat ... optimistic. I'm actually just working
here for the summer and was asked to find out if this was at all possible.
We have a 922LX as well, nut unfortunately the company has decided to try
and sell this one. I'd buy it myself if it weren't for its size and weight.

Not THAT big. :=)
