How can i/we do this? Working fulltime on this for nothing isn't always funny.
Debian is sometimes slow, but we do it right(TM) :-)
Debian is not -- as for an example linuxppc -- only a distribution for one
architecture.
We try :)

IBM Microelectronics doesn't plan on making longtrails again but they're
looking for someone who will so they can donate or loan the design.
They're quite happy to do that.

I was told by a VA rep that they were considering supporting Debian
again. Reportedly, internally they are mostly Debian :).

Other companies interesting to ask for our machines would be the
ones with Debian experience. I remember VA once sold Debian machines, don't

They are, unfortunately. And I wouldn't bother with Penguin Computing.
IIRC, they were the company that thinks WinModems that work with

I'm betting those are custom, but I'll take one if somebody can find me

Perhaps Daystar has some boards they'll sell. Anyone know what kind of
boards are in the quad 604e machines they sell?

If you think it's hard finding a price then try to actually purchase one.
Once you get a salesperson to admit they exist getting them to sell you one
is a good fight :)

This is more a curiosity for me, since I'm at Brasil and it is not
feasible to bring this equipment here...
But at http://www.mcg.mot.com I've found only 604 motherboards, no
G3s; and the systems are just rack-mounted servers. Similarly from IBM I've
