The two things I spend money on are hardware and books. My current machine is a no os Systemax bought from Tiger Direct for less than $300. It has a dvd rw drive, a 250 gig sata drive, usb ports front and back. Chip id 32 bit dual core. I loaded Slack 13 on it. Had to find and load sound drivers. My stepson with identical box just plugged in an old sound card instead. The usb keyboard was not too good. The letters wore off the frequently used keys, and I had no keyboard at boot time for selecting partitions. I resurrected an ancient non-usb keyboard and plugged it in. Keyboard problems solved. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
