After reading the Wikipedia article for the AS/400, I noticed a  
screenshot of it running Debian. This got my gears a turning about  
how awesome it would be to have one of the more modern AS/400s for  
myself to load up OS/400 and Linux to play around with and expand my  
skill set. However, it looks like even the low end models that are  
Linux-capable are quite pricey on eBay. Is there any good market to  
pick these up on the cheap? And, what am I potentially getting myself  
into? Should I just abort now before I am turned into a curmudgeonly  
mainframe guy? :)
