We've had PPCs, Alphas and SPARCS. We do not provide the distros although we generally have a copy or two of Red Hat and SuSE. It is up to the attendee to bring any specialized distro. Way back when we first started to do them, we were able to get Red Hat to supply us with some boxed sets, but we stoped that a few years ago. - -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFALMyE+wA+1cUGHqkRAmCSAKCIDrUGHaw9fsLPDZSHY3pXXUBqfACeKtTh +bWyVb7DXP3dlJEeN/bP5y8= =OqTi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
