iOcnc (was Re: Picture tubes and LCD's

Wow,

the iOpener, already hacked with Midori Linux is on e-bay for $89.
$39 shipping) hard drives are not included.

so the questions for us experianced and proficent Windoz users ( I
can slide the little mousey thingy over to the picture thingy of the
King of Hearts and play Free Cell)

Will the EMC setup be a royal PITA to get to work with Midori ?
Is this a steep learning curve ?
what size HD is sufficent ? is 32 meg RAM good enough ?
