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 ;)

first i can't use caps. then i click too quickly. both times i lose my comment.
neat feature! you dumbshits know if there was a "feature" like this on a microsoft site you would rip into it
SmOKE CRacK!#@!
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!
the latest and greatest linux machine is still based on 5 year old hardware because drivers don't exist for nything newer.
Use Windows XP instead...that supports all the latest hardware.
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!
I don't see why you'd even want a decent graphics card for a Linux box. It would just be a waste of money. Unless you like to go around telling people that your server/development machine has a bitchin' video card.

the linux zealots who keep crying about open drivers open software are a bunch of whiney pussies who probably wouldnt even use for the code itself they just want to whine about how it's not open. Like even nvidia opened their drivers, 99% of linux homos would just compile and use, without a care what's in it.
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.
If you use Linux, please help development of Autopac
