[Xastir] Slightly OT: Three-headed BigBox on Fedora 6

[Richard Polivka]

Curt,

I have four more blank PCI slots. The PCI cards are
$60.00 each. Monitors are somewhat available for the
taking. The idea is wonderful but horrid at the same
time. They are all running 1400x1050x24. I may back
off to 16 bit color just to unload the memory demands.
Time will tell.

Three is more than enough. Now to get the rest of my
software running and I will be sitting cozy when SVR
WX season arrives.

When I get the desk cleaned up from setting this
behemoth up, I can send a pix out with it all working.

73 from 807,

Richard, N6NKO
