[GRLUG] Linux system for sale

[GRLUG general mailing list]

I name all of my PCs after Goa'ulds from "Stargate SG-1" :)

Pretty sure I know which PC this is - very small footprint - perfect for
use under small monitors.  My radio-astronomy group has 4 of them - great
little machines - pretty quiet too.
