A nice ultra 1 can be gotten for $250 at the Marketplace it
www.comdisco.com - they have *hundreds* of them (Ultra 1/170e with 4 Gig,
128 Meg, Creator, Country Kit, and maybe a monitor IIRC).

That is a very good price.

I just ordered two Ultra 30s w/300 MHz CPUs, 128 Meg, 4 Gig, 12x CD, *no*
graphics adapter for $350 each - they may have a few left...

I'm curious about Debian support on the Sparcbook (I have 3GXs myself...)
- any comments?

Thanks, HTH,
