True. However, an SE/30 with 32 meg of RAM and a reasonably modern SCSI
drive _rocks_ as a BSD box. The hardest trick (which isn't very hard) is
using a correct copy of the disk tools to make the UNIX-style partitions
after the small Mac partition you need to boot the box.

If you need a copy of same, let me know. And I'm not selling any of my
SE/30s- at least not yet.
