I'm going to put together two systems in the next week or so running 2.2.14
under the Mandrake release. If you or anyone else is interested, I'd give
you the specs of the kit that I purchase and, IF you purchase the same
system, I'd make a mirror of my hard drive and guarantee that it'll start
up for you. Price unknown right now but negotiable. I'd enclude a couple
versions of the EMC ini for stepper and servo systems. They'd start from
kde icons but you'd have to tune them for your machine.

I expect to be able to set these up for < $550 US dollars.
