Hello folks. Just so you know why I posted here instead of another newsgroup, I'm from Northern Virginia and I hope to join the organization after I actually buy a computer and run Linux for a bit. Anyways, like I said, I'm going to buy a computer and run Linux to serve up some web pages and run e-mail for a couple of POP accounts. Are there any special considerations I should take when choosing a computer? I've heard that Linux doesn't support IBM's MCA bus or Diamond video cards. Are there any other things I should be on the lookout for? If was up to you individually, what would you recommend as an optimum linux box. I'm thinking a P-75 (maybe 90) with 16 megs of RAM to start with and am willing to build it in order to use the best components for Linux. Thanks in advance for any and all help. -- _______________________(o) Eggyolk (o)_____________________ Andy Banks - V.P. of Club Nate andy@minuteman.com X-Man Homepage: http://mmp.dgsys.com/xman/ Typical- I spend a good $4 on a copy of X-Force number 1 and some joker wrote his name in marker on the front cover.
