nice Iwill kk266 motherboard / AMD 1.2Ghz 266Mhz bus
256mb pc133, Matrx G450, 3Com 10/100, IBM 40gb disk
floppy, CD, (burner comes later) in a Enlight 72370X3 case

I am new to mailing lists. Please don't spank me too hard if this is off
topic!

Currently running Red Hat 6.2 (2.2.18) on a 166 Cyrix with 128meg ram.

I want to build a new machine keeping Linux functionality (and bragging
rights) uppermost in mind. I don't necessarily need to be bleeding edge
but I do want to be as modern as Linux currently supports. I guess I am
looking for a dream machine to last me a couple years. I am interested
in a machine that will build from source, projects like OpenOffice and
Mozilla.

Any suggestions on:
