Long story...... Son has birthday. Requests, as present, that parents pay for him to build a computer entertainment centre. Parents ask for detailed proposal which included father getting upgrade (mobo, cpu, ram). Son now plays movies from the server onto TV with remote controlled Entertainment PC. (Much better than X-Box)
Problems with new mobo though (does not let one of the HD's coexist with other drives, sound and NIC not detected by Knoppix or Gentoo) Problems now overcome (new HD, help from list to find linux drivers) Gentoo being installed now (does not take long with P4, 2.4GHz, 512Mb ram) Rob -----Original Message----- From: elvis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 29 July 2003 11:37 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Motherboard recommendations so you're selling a motherboard? --- "Fisher, Robert (FXNZ CHC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Has anyone recently purchased a new P4 MOBO. > >I just bought an ALBATRON PX865PE PRO and found that neither the on-board >sound nor on-board lan are detected by Knoppix (I know I should have done >more research first).
