I've built a Thunderbird based system at home but was most unhappy
when my really smooth install of RedHat 6.2 completed, rebooted,
and hung. :-(
It seems that the kernel was trying to disable the PIII serial number
(which doesn't exist on the Tbird chip) and it core dumped. This is
despite the fact that it correctly recognized that it was an AMD K7 chip!
I'm hoping that RH7 does better with this chip...
BTW, I got my case at CompUSA and was quite surprised at the quality of
their house brand cases! I figured it would be quite a bit cheesier
than it turned out to be. It was actually quite well built with rolled
edges on the sheet metal (the salesdweeb said they weren't rolled)
with easily removed sides and a removable panel that the motherboard
mounted on. This made it really easy to install the components into
the system without contortions or skinned knuckles.
