I just built a computer around the Q6600 (watch Linux Brain Dump for a complete expose!) and ran into one problem - the infamous "can't find the installation CD" problem. I haven't tried the Hacking openSUSE 10.2 answer found here: http://www.softwareinreview.com/cms/content/view/60/ yet though. 10.3 beta 2, on the other hand, installed fine, but I'd rather not use it for my main personal system (and I couldn't get the nvidia drivers to install either). Some new kernels find the CD and SATA drive just fine (10.3, Fedora 7), while others don't (10.2, PCLinuxOS 2007). So it has more to do with the surrounding hardware than it does the Q6600 itself. I do see 4 "cpus" anyway! -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) LinuxBrainDump, Linux HowTo's and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbrainddump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
