Huh?  I have *three* IPC's ("Tic", "Tac" and "Toe"  :>) currently
sitting at my feet running 1.5.2.  Not well endowed boxes, either
(12M, 200M disk).  Not "stellar" performers (due to age) but
fine for controlling the irrigation system, etc. as well as light duty
work...

What were your actual problems?
