papaschtroumpf Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 (edited) Homebrewed Mandrake machine from rejects from my main gaming machine: AK35GT2 motherboard (VIA KT266A, not raid model) Athlon XP 2100+ oveclocked to 2700+ (FSB 266->333), Zalman Cu6000 silent cooler 1G PC 2700 RAM 52x CDRW drive (samsung) 16x DVD-ROM drive (generic) WD 120G 7200rpm 8M cache ATA 100 main harddrive WD 120G 7200rpm 2M cache ATA 100 backup drive (unmounted/powered off most of the time) Intel 100+ nic (eth0/main) cheap generic RTL-8139 nic (eth1/monitoring and sniffing as needed) SB Live! 5.1 2.1 Altec Lansing speakers (part of a 4.1 system, no room for the back speakers). Logitech headset with mic (the one that came with UT2004 SE) GeForce2 Ultra 64M graphic card Compaq TFT500 LCD monitor (15" - 1024x768) Samsung ML1710 USB printer (shared to the rest of the network with Samba) USB/wireless keyboard and optical mouse Belkin 4 port KVM (display/keyboard/mouse is shared with the kids' computer) APC 350VA UPS with USB monitoring cable This is the first machine that had a decent video card that could do hardware acceleration under linux and has opened the possibility of gaming on my linux machine too (of course my gaming machine has an ATI 9800XT which is far superior to the GeForce2 Ultra). This is actually the first computer where I can get everything to work under linux, from sound to USB, to UPS monitoring. I do have one pretty important gripe: I can;t get lm_sensors temperature monitoring to work (see sig). let me know if you can help with that. Edit: nevermind, got it working, just had to lie about the type of sensor my board has. Edit again: works just find under Mandriva LE2005 Edited May 2, 2005 by papaschtroumpf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor57 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I'm running MDK 10 official on a Toshiba Tecra 8100 laptop at work. It's a PIII 550, and it works flawlessly (so far). I have 2 comps at home (SuSE 9.0 pro, and WinXP Pro on a P4, and a P3). Trying to dump Windoze, but wifey won't do it. I have gotten her to use Firefox though. It's a step in the right direction.

arctic Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 ummm.. several systems i have to work with... one old 750mhz amd duron, 330 mb ram (my main home box with mdk10.1, fedora3, ubuntu 4.10 and yoper 2.1). i hope this box will be replaced soon :), one 1.8 ghz notebook with 256 mb ram (secondary box at home with fedora3 and winme), one 166 mhz pentium II MMX with 128 mbram (toybox with slack based vectorlinux), at work: 5 apple G5 machines (for quark-xpress), 3 imacs (for dtp stuff), connected to a g5 server; two xerox-windows print servers (they are damn expensive... only 80 000 € each. what a bargain... :P), two 1.2 ghz athlon 512 mb ram boxes running with debian, 6 new dell 4 ghz boxes running windoh xp, connected to a 2.4 ghz apache server. hmm... i would like to put mandrake or something like that on all windows boxes, but my boss will kill me if i do that :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 desktop - self-build. asus a7n8x-e deluxe motherboard, with worthless new 013 BIOS which gives me a LILO timestamp mismatch 3 out of 4 tries on bootup (me = bitter). Athlon XP-M 2500+, running at 2.2GHz. Thermalright ALX-800 heatsink, Vantec Stealth 80mm fan. Case is an Antec Overture HTPC / desktop case (so frickin' big it won't fit in my TV stand, sigh, but very, very quiet). 512MB of Samsung DDR-400 RAM. MSI Geforce4 MX440 graphics card. 160GB Seagate SATA 7200.7 hard disk. Onboard audio (it's quite good, though, Soundstorm certified, 5.1). SMC 2802Wv2 wireless card. LG DVD reader, Lite-On 812S DVD+-RW. Cheap Logitech optical wheelmouse (can't use my MX700 till I find a DC power adapter I can use in Canada). Old-skool clicky IBM keyboard, UK layout, doubles as a burglar deterrent (one hit with THIS thing and you don't get back up, it's solid steel...) Couple of cheap USB gamepads. RCA 27" flatscreen TV for videos and gaming, 17" LG flatscreen CRT monitor for desktop work (CRTs forever!) Logitech Z-5300 5.1 speakers. Total cost was around CAN$1000 - nice machine for desktop use and playing DVDs, music, other video :) laptop is a Sony Vaio C1XD, the UK version of the C1XS. It's a four year old system, it was the second model of the Picturebook series, which pioneered ridiculously tiny laptops. It's about the size of the keyboard on a normal laptop (or a little smaller), weighs about 1kg, and has a nice 8.9" wide screen (perfect for movies). CPU is a P2/400, I updated the 64MB of RAM to 128MB and the 6GB hard disk to 30GB (then down to 20GB again, swapped the 30GB drive into my music player). I use an old Prism 802.11b wireless card in it. I love it to bits, but it's feeling a little slow these days - when I have the money I'll replace it with a Vaio U70, Vaio T series, Picturebook C1M (the last released model in the Picturebook series, it was sadly discontinued last year) or a Flybook, a system in the same form factor by a Taiwanese startup called Dialogue. Both systems run Cooker, updated daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarissi Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Have to update from previous post. My computer(s) are always a work in progress, and I get bit by the hardware upgrade bug every so often. :D See Sig, and add the Logitech Cordless iTouch Duo (cordless itouch keyboard and cordless mx700 mouse). About the only thing I would change, is go to the Pro2 version of this mobo, and go up to 2 GB ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FuzzieBio Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I now use MDK 10.1 on my laptop: Toshiba M35X-S149-(Centrino-Based) 1.5 MHz Pentium M (512m cache) 512m PC2700 DDR333 Intel 855GME Gfx/Sound Integrated Atheros 802.11a/b/g Wireless (works using Madwifi drivers) I use a slightly customized 2.6.10 kernel, and noticed a huge diference in general and graphical performance, as well as much much better ACPI (resuming from hibernation take < 30 seconds). Got it for $600. It chugs when using Windows, but flies on linux (in comparison ) Well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
