    Question for any PC Converts

    Well, most of the development is going to be web apps, or things like embedded C, so the core operating system doesn't really matter. I also plan to run Parallels and / or VMWare fusion if needed for development for some reason, so that's not a big concern of mine. I was kind of curious as...

    Question for any PC Converts

    CKMorpheus- Thanks for the quick feedback. On the notebook stand thing, I hadn't thought about that. I'm not sure it would work because in my case, I will be going with a 15", and while its great at laptop distance, having it set further back on a stand, I'm not sure it would really be a...

    FS: Tyan / Opteron Workstation & Parts

    Yep, this does work great as an XUbuntu server, or even just a regular Ubuntu system. I had it running as an Ubuntu Samba server for about 1 year, ran great, no odd restarts or anything. Rock solid system. Also, small note I didn't mention in the original post: All equipment was purchased as...

    FS: Tyan / Opteron Workstation & Parts

    Looking to Switch to Linux - Need Help with which Distro

    Well, just a little update: I have Ubuntu up and running successfully with my system. I still have Ubuntu on a separate drive as I slowly migrate all my software across. This weekend I spent time getting Samba installed and working with File and Printer Sharing... things look to be going good...

    Looking to Switch to Linux - Need Help with which Distro

    Well, I opted to go with Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop. I wanted something that I could have up and running relatively easily, and then tweak beyond that point. I am still holding onto my crutch Windows XP install for the time being. In working with Ubuntu this morning, I have already gotten the core...

    Looking to Switch to Linux - Need Help with which Distro

    Thanks for the info guys. I actually have run FreeBSD and OpenBSD from time to time. They did seem rock stable, but it seemed like certain pieces of software didn't work properly with them. The nice thing is I'm not dumping my main drive, so I have the option of dumping the install and...

    Looking to Switch to Linux - Need Help with which Distro

    Well, that's kind of what I was thinking, but thoughtI should check it out. In terms of the windowing environments, I know that Ubuntu uses Gnome (although they also have KUbuntu with KDE). Are there big differences between the windowing Environments for different Distros, or is it mostly...

    Looking to Switch to Linux - Need Help with which Distro

    Now, I know there are just as many options and suggestions out there as there are people, so bare with me, I have a very specific goal in mind. First, what I will be converting is my current desktop system which sites idle 99% of the time these days and mainly serves Email Checking duties and...

    VISTA Poll

    Well, I installed it for about 7 months on my Dell D620. It worked fine and I really didn't have any PROBLEMS per say. The biggest gripe I had was that 2 or 3 of the older programs I use for programming didn't work on it because of how old they were. In addition, I didn't find much of the Aero...

    You know you play WoW to much when...

    Ok, I had this same thing happen on my Dell 2001FPW, although it wasn't WoW, it was the FireFox toolbars. It was the same issue as well, it only showed up on gray backgrounds. At the time, my monitor was only 2 months old, so I just had Dell replace it. They will replace the monitor up to the...
