Hello,
I've got myself nicely confused with hardware specs for a moderate system, to be home built, on which Linux will be the only OS.
What I want is a system will stand the maximum chance of being compatible with the majority of distros. I do understand that this rules out cutting edge stuff, for which I have no real need anyway. Something mid range will be ample. But where do I start?
Would AMD socket 939 be better than Intel 775, Pentium 4, say? I don't have to have dual memory, dual core, or sli, but think I should have PCIe. Or perhaps I should go for an up-to-date mobo with lesser bits and pieces......
If it's not asking too much I really would really like someone to put down a list of workable components for a linux system which wouldn't break the bank but would be fully functional for ordinary computing.
Any advice will be gratefully recieved.
