I have enough spares to make another box.
I was thinking of using this box to play with linux and eventually use this as an always online machine doing whatever therefore freeing up my main machine purely for gaming and movie watching.
What I have is...
AMD XP2500+ (with a large copper heatsink and loud 92mm fan, want to replace that with a silent one)
NF3 abit motherboard (forgot model name)
GF4 4200ti 64MB
512MB RAM
Thermaltake 500 (ish) watt PSU
Spare Keyboard (mouse is dead)
Lots of spare monitors (mainly 15s)
I can dig up other ancilleries needed to get it operational![]()
I hear people mentioning ubuntu and knowing there are several flavours of linux out there, I was hoping someone could recommend to me the 'ideal' linux package for me.
In summary requirements are:
1) Simple enough for a dumb guy like me to play with it and learn
2) Be able to run on the available equipment
3) Be used as a tool for online stuff (web browsing, downloading etc.) as well as maybe being an internal media host.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
