No, it's $60 US a month for unlimited service and the card had an initial
price of $100. Not free by any means.

You'd need at least a 386SX to do Linux, plus a bunch of RAM. I've run
Xastir in as little as 32MB before, but if he has very old DOS machines he
may not have enough RAM and/or it may be quite a fight to get Linux
installed on there.
FWIW I started into Linux on a 386SX-20 with 2MB of RAM. That was without
X11, a custom kernel without all the fluff, and reducing the number of
daemons to a minimum. Add X11 (required for Xastir) and you increase your
memory requirements quite a bit.

And Verizon has a very limited definition of 'unlimited'. We ran a
telemetry site on one of those cards and got a nastygram saying that our
service was being shut off because we were obviously engaged in illegal
file sharing - despite the fact that all of the traffic on the link was
encrypted and it connected only to our own VPN. We weren't able to avoid
having the service shut off, and had to make two trips to the site (4 or 5
hours away) to retrieve the card, reactivate it, and return it.
