For future growth, you may want to consider getting a DVD ROM drive. It
will cost a bit more but you won't have to upgrade it later.
From the RedHat hardware compatibility list...
"Some IDE and SCSI DVD drives will work with Red Hat Linux as CD-rom
readers. This factor is usually dependent on how ATAPI or SCSI
compatible their CD-rom facilities are."
Does any one know of a compatible DVD ROM drive?
I've had my CD-ROMs for quite some time so I haven't had a chance to
test any DVD ROMs out. If you go to http://www.linux.org or
http://www.redhat.com you can find a list of compatible hardware. The
lists tend to be reasonably up to date for mainstream devices.
Modem - Zoom Model #2919 ~$ 60
Oh man. You do not want to use a zoom modem. I ran an ISP for a while
and about 75% of our customer's modem troubles were with zoom modems.
Any other non winmodem would be a better choice.
Thanks for pointing that out, I picked the Zoom because it appears to
contain a DSP chip (made by lucent) that is recommended in the RedHat
hardware list. Does any one have recommendations for a non-winmodem?
I can't yet recommend my modem 'cause I haven't gotten around to
finishing my PPP setup. I'm going through ATT and they use CHAP
authentication and I haven't gotten that set up right yet. Too much to
do, not enough time. I use a Diamond SupraExpress 56i V.90. It works
under Windoze but so does a winmodem...
Mouse - MS Intellimouse PS2 ~$ 20
Keyboard - MS Natural PS2 ~$ 20
I suppose, if you can get M$ products for $20 each, that wouldn't be so
bad...
Floppy- Sony 1.44MB ~$ 15
Case - Inwin Mini-Tower ~$ 50
Total ~$985
You didn't mention a monitor. Are you reusing an existing monitor?
I didn't mention it because I didn't think it would have any
compatibility problems. Just in case anyone is curious, the one I've
been eyeing is Viewsonics 17" PT775. It's a bit pricey at 360 but it
looks very high quality.
I can make a difference, if you are using a really old monitor. Just
make sure you have the manual so you can find the refresh rates for
various resolutions. I don't know if the Vewsonic is listed in the
"standard" monitor list.
Well, that's my $0.02
Thanks,
Mark
Good luck,
Roy

Hi Folks,
Well, that is the question - will a modem on a USB port work with linux.
Seems I have a winmodem (combined with sound card) on the inside of my
computer.
So I am wondering if I should try and locate and external modem - for a USB
port or a serial port.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I'm looking into replacing my venerable Jumbo 250 tape drive
for something a little more capable( plus my drive is snapping tapes
). I see a rather new drive called the Orb drive. Has anyone gotten
this to work with linux? I pretty reasonably priced so I hoping it is
compatibility.

Hello,

comments welcome reguarding performace/price and compatibility.

Mother Board - Abit BE6 ~$120
CPU - P3 450 ~$280
Don't take the newest possible CPU. Consider Celeron or - even better -
AMD K6-3. There you get much better performance-per-price.
