What's up with the StarMax that SuSE won't load?  I've seen them mentioned
on the Debian PPC lists, so it isn't that Linux won't work on them.  What
processor does your StarMax have?  It's an OpenFirmware box, right?

It should be about $190 for the exam.  You'll take it at Databank, but you
can register all kinds of places - www.2test.com is one.

Can you give us a review of the UAS class?

I'm surprised the VAX's were still there.  Someone will probably snap them
up.  I almost bought the 2100 just for the disk drives - something like 7
2GB and 4 4GB SCSI drives.  Not quite worth the $250 asking price though.
Should have put in a bid on them to get those drives, just never got
downtown.  (Heavy sigh.)
