System of the Year, Linux Style

Bob the Blob writes "LinuxHardware has put together a wonderful article that gathers up all of the top hardware into the ultimate Linux system from 2001. In the article, there is a review of the hardware from 2001 that discusses what we've seen and why the parts were chosen. To make you drool, think Athlon XP with GeForce 3 Ti500 with the stability of Linux." Worth noting that this machine is of course now at least 10 days obsolete ;)

Let's all convince our governments that owning such a machine is vital for scientific progress (finding aliens, cracking rc5 keys, etc) and get them to sponsor such a box to each and every citizen!

But, just think of your TuxRacer framerate.

Oh yes, I believe you. You want to buy Athlon XP and Geforce for playing TuxRacer. And you never run Windows there.

Think how fast kernel compiles on Geforce! And how fast you can use vim with Athlon XP!

AHA! You are one of the army of KDE/Gnome Bashers

Sure linux can run with a weak machine, you just cant run powerful software. You can run weak software and add plugins as needed. So tell me are you running blackbox? afterstep?

No this is not a flamebait, or a troll post. I'm simply sayin when you have a machine like this, you dont have the right to say KDE or Gnome or Enlightenment is slow.
