We've had great success with buying a new low-end Celeron machines. Whenever we need a new Linux testing machine, or a Linux desktop for non-developers, we go to our computer store and assemble the lowest-level Celeron machine possible. Last time we did this, the total was 2000NIS, and remember you get LOTS of memory (which is cheap nowadays), nice processor speed (1GHZ+) and warranty. The only "problematic" parts are hard drives (which are expensive if you buy them new) and accessories such as sound cards, CDROM, etc. If you can get those used, you would probably be able to go way below 2000NIS for a new computer. - Aviram ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
