I could build her a computer no problem because she wouldn't have to have a lot of bells and whistles. Thanks for the help M i will def look you up when i get back in the rear and start my build.
Is there any extra consideration when doing a build for linux if i decide to build me a new linux machine? |
No, Given that its a much better programmed OS, Linux runs well on older tech without all the bloatware windows has to slow it down. As long as you don't plan on doing games (you shouldn't use Linux anyway for games) on it. Standard hardware will suffice. I am running mine a a AMD 3500+ with 1GIG RAM and a 120 GIG HD. Use it for training and file sharing. Works fine.
