[dave <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so , someone deposits a p2 450 outside my house last night... i belive he
intends me to install linux on it for audio.... did the mystery
man/woman/entity give me enough spec to run some realtime synthesis stuff...

spec:
   pII 450 mhz 128mb
   4.5gb uw scsi
   2 x 9 gb uw scsi

and i can afford to put in a £50 (second hand) soundcard... ala sblive or
budget delta series card....etc

any input much appreciated.
dave
