My first debian box was actually one of those. I saw that Jim
Dennis had one, and coveted its nice keyboard and cool non-volatile
memory system.
They're great boxes for a console-only system. I used to use
my ricochet on that thing, and read mail and news cached on its drive.
Keen gear.
What a great line those 800s were.
