Gotta buy a new computer :( [solved]

[Kieth 0]

Unfortunately, I gotta get another computer. :sad: An old computer with some even older parts has decided to start limping. Since €€€€ is always a problem, I found this computer for sale, and I have been checking around to see if all of it is compatible with my beloved Mandriva, and it seems be, but just to make sure, I'm asking your opinion. Also, this is a store that builds computers, so I can obviously make some changes. Help? Ideas on changes?

 

Thanks bunches,

Kieth

I decided to keep this one until it rolls over and dies. I'll just make frequent backups. :)

you should always make frequent backups :P

Doesn't look too exotic, so should be fine with most distros.

Freguent backups? Mmm, that would be a big change!! :P Bad habits are hard to change! :sad: Gotta start a new thread ian, because I might have to buy that computer yet. This one is giving me problems, but it might be Mandriva and not the hardware.

 

Thanks,

Kieth

Try with Ubuntu you can run as a live cd and see how things work.
