In installed Linux on my secondary hard drive and I use lilo to boot. I
didn't install any portion of Linux on my master Hard drive. If you do
this though, when you want to run linux you'll need to do boot with a floppy.
I did it that way because of my paranoia with Windows :)
I'm too much
Is it realistic to expect to build a nice system for $1200 or so?
hi cathy,
very realistic. i'm a tech at a place that custom builds whitebox pc's

around $600 (without monitor or O/S, though provided O/S's are installed

The real reason, the bottom line is, THE BOTTOM LINE. They raised prices
because they thought that the market would stand it. It is obvious that the

WEll now, I feel the need to get involved in this one. I have used both, and
also Xara and Macromedia Fireworks, ooops, and also briefly Painter (and
others along the way). You can pixel paint all you want if you like, but I
do not restrict myself to that sort of painting, as I can paint with vect

I've heard theories saying that everyone is upgrading their old PCs to get
ready for y2k, and of course, they're upgrading to the most modern stuff,
K6-2, P2 and P3 processors, which require PC100 ram, so if the people are
willing to pay twice what the ram normally costs, why not raise the

I've been very happy with two motherboards I've purchased recently. At
home we run 2 AMD K6-2 350s on FIC 503+ motherboards. This motherboard is
*very* nice for AMD chips, and it's Y2K compliant. I'm also running the
same chip on a Tyan board at work - I can't remember the exact model. But

As for motherboards,
I'm really happy with my Abit BH-6. You can change voltage and clock speed
via software in the bios. I used it with a celleron 300A so that I could
easily overclock when I wanted to.
