Actually, If we're talking about using Linux, I had a terrible time
with my single speed and Linux - there wasn't any Linux drivers for
it.  May not be the case with the tandy one.  The nice thing about the
cdrom is that I think there's some linux cdroms out there that can be
run from the cdrom, right?  Then we could use the hard drive for programs
and such.
