        Yer talkin' to the wrong guy--I've never tried it. But I've sent a
copy of this note to Sean Chou, the TP List "God" and I'm sure he'll
point you in the right direction. I think some people have successfully
run Linuxx on their TP750's, but with some caveats (I think the floppy drive
didn't work right or something).
