I'm preparing to buy a computer and/or build one. Mandrake 8 or Slackware
current will be my primary OS for this home computer. I'm aiming to spend
less than $1500, and as close to $1000 as possible. I don't desire top of
the line, I'm more after cost effectiveness.
I'm trying to avoid a lot of complicated install problems or conflicts. Has
anyone built a machine lately that runs well under Linux and was easy to
install Linux on?
Am I pretty much safe with any intel or AMD processor and motherboard combo?
I don't need top of the line video, but a decent balance between ease of
configuration and the goodies would be nice.
Are the soundblaster Lives supported well now?
Am I save with pretty much any of the 40gig 7200 hard drives?
Thanks for any advice or insight,
Eric
