Memtest locked up at 11 hours, 51 min, 15 seconds. At this point, there 
were no errors reported. Maybe the machine is just tired. :)

I can get the basic Knoppix to load. (6x4 native, though, ugh). But I 
got Kubuntu to load as well. Mebbe it's just bad media.

I'm gonna play with Knoppix for a while on it this afternoon.

Did that. I'm gonna go back and run a new set of CDs though.
