[TriLUG] Available machine?

[Bill Farrow]

I have a spare machine with a 4 port NIC in it.  I think it is a
Pentium 2, which should be acceptable.

OpenBSD does not require a lot of resources, an Athlon with 512M would be more than enough, and I have small hard drives that have been "retired" that would do the job.
