Well this would hardly be going on to bleeding edge technology, a TxProII 
mobo with 233MHz Cyrix MII and 32MB DRAM, ubiquitous S3 card and an ISA 
NE2000 clone NIC with a Tatung Intelliscan monitor. SuSE 6.3 runs nicely on 
it though.

I don't know anything at all about Reiser FS. What advantage(s) will it 
give me over the standard FS and is it a ball ache to install?
