  IBM 600 model. Linux installed without a hitch, though XFree didn't
  (used another downloadable XServer instead, can't recall which)
  Never crashed, never any problems, sound works fine too.
  Guy at my old place used it for 6 months solid in Japan.
  Ya, it also has windows on it, but we never really used it.
  The guy even did some development work on it.
