I find KDE 3.2 on an Ultra 5/360 with PGX24 is "acceptable" for 
occasional use (did replace the IDE with SCSI, though, and was surprised 
with the results); so I think I'll go for this SS20. If it doesn't work 
out as expected, I can always turn it into a dns / dhcp / imap / http / 
squid-proxy replacement for the two pentium-100 boxes that currently 
handle these.

Anyway, thanks for the info (and expect someone with lots of SS20/cg14 
related questions in the future ;-)
