Pete,
SDR requires some decent computing power, nothing crazy, but not
bottom of the line. I'd recommend at least an i5 core and 8 gig of
Ram, 16 would be better but you can always upgrade later. Video
cards and SDR are a moot point unless you're going to use something
like gr-fosphor requiring Cuda support.
Ubuntu 14 will do the job well, but it can be a bit bloated.
Lubuntu is less bloated, but it may require you to compile more
packages. The trade off between bloat and installation issues may
be a deciding factor on which version to use. I have not tried raw
Debian, but it should do the job well too.
Currently I'm running it well on an Asus G73S and an Alienware M14.
The Asus runs it without issue and handles gr-fosphor well too. Of
course the Alienware runs my SDR without breaking a sweat.

My pybombs install guide is only a few months old, but since HackRF
came out, some major packages have been added/updated. I probably
need to re-write it., but it will get you in the ballpark for
setting everything up.

And if yes, can you tell me the exact model number,
the pentoo version and any other thing you did beside
just install pentoo on the machine?
Tired of turning in circle trying to find a way to
run this..
it is nice to run my hack-rf with sdr#.. but would
really like to tx with it.
