[KLUG Members] New machine - Linux hardware?

[Tj]

i would recomend a smp(multi prosser) computer
abit-ve6 or better will support p3s and bp6 will use s370 cellerons and p3s
up to 866
any 10/100 nic card will work good
dont get an ati-radeon if u want to run linux the only drivers that are out
are beta
i cant think of any thing elce at the momnet so look up some of those sounds
