Well, I got the email notification, followed the link and logged in, posted a massive reply, hit submit only to be told that I'd have to log in to quote.

I suppose I must have taken too long.

Next time I'll do it in an editor and copy/paste.

Yes, I'd have to agree. Mandriva (mandrake) has the config department better organised for new users than most linux derivatives, but like any neighbourhood, once you've lived there a while, you know where to find everything when you need it. All your configuration for mouse, screen, kbd, graphics c...

Why not?

I'm only twelve!

...and this person is in also.

Only too happy to pay all shipping costs.

There are some beautiful spots here in Oz, and the population still hasn't built to the point where you can't have a lot of it to yourself for a lot of the time also. It's all in the eye of the beholder. I'm actually heading for the desert because I like it. I've got a friend, Fish, in Silver City, ...

In about a month I'm moving even further out to the edge of the Tanami desert in northern western Australia.
I can still get 56K there though.

Not available in this area, cityslicker.

Can't do games, thanks for the invite though.

I'm on dial-up so the fastest moves I can manage are chess ones.

I'm in, and only too happy to accept the freight/postage costs.

Go well with my new board.

When you're still posting on forums half an hour after you've supposed to have started work 5 miles away.

It's all one big mess. I've been aware for some time that Intel manufactured personalised, identifiable processors, but this is the first indication that I've seen AMD heading the same way. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10441443/ 'Trusted Computing'. Only on MSN. I wonder how free software is going to...

'nother point of view, here...

...with specs.

Look at this one, off the Debian lists. Someone from Intel blew it, setting up an off-shore, out-sourcing deal in India.... http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/09/msg04351.html ...applied to the list to have it all removed. He's since been made more aware of the principles behind open source. I...

Katipo, That board is fine, Asus site says it supports X2 dual cire cpu's too... You may not need dual core now, but at least you can updgrade later ;) Looking at the server function, so I'd probably go with that straight away. In time, I could be looking at four boxes, including a till, my box, on...

I appreciate what you're saying, but I've had experiences with Nvidia chipsets before, and there's just too much fiddling with them as far as opensource OS's are concerned. If you've just got the one OS, a bit of fiddling is fun, but if you like to play with a few with removable racks, it gets to be...

So, the A8V Deluxe looks O.K., then.

Thanks for that. I think the same way. If it wasn't for the market influence of gaming, for example, we wouldn't have the advances we have in graphics, CPU cycles, RAM, etc., but people get tied up so much in their little cliques, anything else becomes unfashionable. Hopefully what I'm building now ...

I'm fairly open, but I don't have the time to play around with overclocking, or serious gaming. The closest I come to that is a game of chess on the net to clear my head. A new box would be nice, but I'm running a small business, so a server would probably be a better move for the future. I could ke...

Hi, kenc51. Just for the bare board and CPU(s), I could maybe stretch to $1200.00 Australian = $ U.S.880.00 = 750.00 euro. Looking at reliable workstation/server use. I've got the software, - Debian/DragonflyBSD. I've already got an NMB 460W PSU sitting in the box, which should supply enough juice f...

Don't want to start another thread, and it doesn't look like anyone's using this one, so I'll recycle this one. NEWBIE ALERT! I've got an obsolete, but excellent box, in a Lian-Li PC-62USB. On the outside it advertises, 'Pentium 4', which I'm aware probably determines port configurations in the back...
