By way of introduction, I have been using Ubuntu for about 18 months, but only on quite old computers (6-7 years). I need to replace my desktop and am trying to decide what to purchase.
Apart from web access, the programs I most commonly use are OpenOffice, GnuCash and some old windows programs I run with wine. One additional application I want to use is video editing. I would like the new computer to boot quickly and run the above applications with ease. My hardware knowledge is limited but I have been considering the following: Clarkdale CPU with integrated graphics/motherboard to suit 8 Gig ram SSD drive for operating system (64 bit Lucid), hard drive for /home Would appreciate any suggestions or comments Jim Tippett -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
