HEY! www.unixsucks.com
RudeCat7:
The current posts between you and the other guys are pointless, you know that. So why don't we forget about trying to one up each other when it comes to operating systems. Nobody's gonna convert this way. Right?
I think there's hope for you yet, if you want. After all, why would you keep coming back here? I know you like to spew piss and venom, and these guys only edge you on. But deep down, I think you have an interest in *Nix, don't ya? Go ahead and deny it, I wont force it out of you.
Maybe, you like hardware though. Do you get a tingle when you see a barebone kit for sale? Does that give you ideas about a new system? Are you excited about 3ghz coming soon? Are you using a big ass 19 inch monitor? don't you want one? Come on, I know we have something in common! Are you browsing on a sweet cable hook-up? Give the OS wars a break for a while. Let's talk tech.
I'll show you mine (specs)
AMD Athlon XP 1800/ AMD fan
Epox 8kha+ DDR motherboard
256MB Crucial Micron DDR
GeForce2 Ti
Sblaster 16 pci
Logitech Z340 speakers, very good for $40.00
20gig hard drive (weak I know)
Lite-on 24x cd-burner
Pioneer 12x DVD #116
Iomega 100mb zip
Antec KS282 case (sx830 is way better, but$)
Cheap ass $19.00 15" monitor (but the picture is sweet)
Most important, blazing cable hookup thanks to Cox@home.
so come on, share.
;)
Thix goes for XP User #whatever, but I don't think he's even around anymore, is he?
Oh yeah, I also have a HP 5100c scanjet, and Suse is supposed to have FULL support, Yay! I haven't tried it though, but so you know, this damn POS wont work in anything else but Win95/98! Not even WinMe, until now.. it's a Linux scanner!
Same goes for that old POS Canon lbp-465 printer, don't even think about it! It sucks as a printer period, plus Win95 drivers only! Fortunately the toner works in my $7.00 HP Laserjet 5L....Yeah, I'm a hardware bargain hunter!

wanna hera about some of my other ass-end computers
yeah, though, on the hardware side, i can't wait until x86-64 comes out. like, supposedly they were demonstrating 32bit windows, and 64bit linux on it. so it should be pretty sweet for an x86 proc.
Ice-9:
Would be nice to see the specs of everyone around here, here are mine:
Main puter is a black Dell Dimension 4400 in which I swapped everything except the Intel 845G chipset motherboard, the P4 1.8 GHz and the 384MB DDR Sdram @ 400MHz.
The rest :
Geforce 3 Ti200 64MB
Terratec Xfire 1024 soundcard (not good in Linux)
Harman Kardon speakers + subwoofer
2 x 100Mbit Intel Pila 8460C3 Nic
Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM HDD
IBM Deskstar 40GB 7200 RPM HDD
Iomega Peerless 20GB external HDD
Sony Floppy drive
Lite On 16X DVD drive
Plexter 40X CD-RW
Logitech Gaming mouse
Dell 17" monitor
Epson Stylus color C70 printer
And on top of this a pretty good cable connection (even if the upsload is capped @ 128K)
[Edit]; it came with a 20GB Maxtor with XP pre-installed, first thing I did was take the HDD out, put it as slave in another pc and fdisk the whole thing ;)
