Micro ATX and Linux?

Chasuk asks: "I work at a large computer retailer in a college town, and I've finally convinced the powers-that-be to sell PCs with Linux pre-installed. The catch is, it will only be installed on Micro ATX machines, which require half-height everything, and we can't find a source of half-height Linux compatible PCI modems. Even those universal, generic half-height replacement hangers/brackets would be acceptable, but I can't find those, either. Can anyone on Slashdot help? "

    Anyone who hooks up through Slashdot Personals -- you **MUST** post about it! Karma be damned!

    Match.com sucks ass, IMO. Use LavaLife or Single Me -- their interfaces are nicer, their pages render (mostly) correctly on Konqueror (Lava uses a stupid Java chat but at least it works) and the "what you can do for what you pay" (I'm not gonna use the term "bang for buck" in relation to online dating, sorry) is by far better on Lava.

    I've met about a dozen women through Lava, and had two really "wow" dates from it since January. Of that 12 or so I've made four really good friends and if things are going the way I think they are, I might have found someone truly special out of it all. Not bad considering I really joined up just to expand my social circle in ways outside of sports and the bar scene, although taking the kids to the park and grocery shopping work really well, too. :-)

    if you have children, you should already be married. i find you disgusting. you are cavorting about with women while your children are left home alone unattended. absolutely sickening. now, even assuming you do not have bastard children and this current situation is the result of a divorce, you should give those kids up for adoption. better they get beat by foster parents than to see your winky plowing in and out of some fat everquest-slut.

    go home. i win.

    sincerely,
