HP (www.hp.com) is selling a refurbished hp320lx (44MHz)for $320, usually
$500. Good buy? I want to run linux on it. 4mb ram, rom is 5mb,
expandable.  no color :( (1/2 vga, 4 grey levels)

 the hp360lx is faster 60MHz w/ more memory (8MB), 16 gray levels. usually 

any experiences ? is linux easy to boot/run?
