I was resisting commenting on the computer thing earlier, I was going to 
say that I hoped the computer wasn't running on Linux like they had been 
talking about doing a way back (I believe it was either TurboLinux or 
Redhat that was setting up a possible 2400 terminal system for 
them?).  Anyone know if this ever happened?

Also found some links with RedHat mentioned.
