Ty, I considered this, and looked into Net/Free/OpenBSD, but I was under
the impression that using Zope on any of them was a bit 'o the pain in
the ass.  Plus, I couldn't find any info on other possible hardware
related issues, like using >32GB IDE drives, which even my BIOS refuses
to talk to.

(if someone could give me the slightest hint as to *why* things would
crap out at 4GB, I'd be greatful.)
