Grahame doesn't have one. Grahame's mother has one running Windows, runs
fantastically apparently.

This was done last night. While I can't yet make many comments:
[davyd at pitch davyd]$ uname -a
Linux pitch 2.6.6-thinclient #1 Tue Jun 15 15:36:52 WST 2004 i686
GNU/Linux
[davyd at pitch davyd]$ uptime

If someone modprobes i2c-proc on them, we should be able to get sensor
readings. Perhaps we should consider setting up mtrg for them, graphing
sensors readings and uptimes. Just for interests sake.

While 2.6 seems to give overall better performance, we might notice a
drop in frame rate in GL applications. The latest round of nVidia
drivers don't seem to perform as well as some of their predecessors.
