I love assembling computers and installing OSes, and with Linux, even better. However my main stumbling points were: 1. Support. I don't want e-mails reading "it doesn't work!" 2. Parts sourcing. Very hard to find parts at a decent price here in Canada, especially if I would be reselling. For that matter, mini-ITX boards and cases seem especially hard to find here. -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: "I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.
