Hey everybody, I'm relatively new to Linux, ut I've found I've been able to pick up what I need fairly quickly. My problem today is that I plan to buy parts and build a new machine strictly for Linux. I just want to make sure that everything will work by asking whther or not any of you have similar configurations. First off, I'll be putting together an AMD Duron socket A system using a gigabyte board with a via KT133 chipset. The next item is an Asus PCI SCSI card (using a symbios chipset) hooked to 2 seagate 4.3 GB SCSI drives. There will be an IDE CD-ROM drive (for installing the system mainly) and a floppy drive. It'll probably have 64 Meg of RAM, since that's what I have spare lying around. If you could let me know if you foresee any problems with this, I would greatly appreciate it. I plan to install either Mandrake 7.1 or Debian 2.2 (most likely mandrake though). Thanks a lot everybody, so far you've all been really helpful.
