I believe the integration that Bill was referring to was testing this
hardware with our current linux install, and making any changes that are
necessary for us to be able to support this hardware. We may need to
produce a new install floppy, at the very least, in order to make these
machines work.
I would guess that amb is the correct person to do this work, being
our Linux platform maintainer. On the other hand, I don't know how
busy Andrew is right now with getting Redhat 7 ready for crash and
burn. Andrew?
