No, this stuff has never run Windows of any era.  These are old PA-RISC
workstations (HP-UX) in the 100/125/180 Mhz speed range.

A long time ago I noticed that Debian had a PA-RISC port, so I installed
Linux on one of the 100 Mhz machines for fun.  It seemed to run fine
(but slow :) but I only ran it for a day or so before I got board.

If anyone wants a low performance server, or wants to play with Linux on
non-Intel hardware, let me know!  FREE!  :-)    And if someone were to
take these dozen or so _complete_ boxes (lots of memory, disk, etc.),
I'll get my boss to throw in a few 19" fixed frequency monitors that
these machines use. **

These boxes are probably more secure on the internet than a x86 box
because of the uncommon CPU (seems like a hacker would have to rewrite
his machine code for the buffer overflows).

** notice I'm not selling anything to stay within the KLUG list rules.
   all this stuff is FREE!  :-)
