G'day All,

I am after a vendor of "LINUX friendly" computer parts in the Melbourne
area (or a reliable mailorder supplier).

I am specifically after a new motherboard, CPU (prefer P133+ - possibly in
dual pentium configs), and Video Card. I used to be up on these bits, but
with VX/HX/AFX motherboards all being mentioned in the Green Guide, I need
some help here. Additionally, are Pentium and PPro processors pin
compatible on motherboards - and if I go Pentium now, what should my
motherboard be to support PPro later.

I do RPC based software development in both Linux and Win95 environs and my
DX4-100 is now becoming painfully slow (time for it to be pentioned off and
become my primary server). I intend this system to be used for some time,
so any help/advice welcome.

Regards,
CSE.
