w> Not bad price, but just a little more can get a brand new system. I challenge you to find a "new system" that meets up to the specs of this one, unless you mean going the way I did, and ordering the parts, building it yourself. And if you mean that, you will find them hardly cheaper than I did.

Alas, my stint with LUAU and Hawaii as a whole has come to a conclusion (at least for now). Why, you might ask? Well, mostly, I'll be at Undergrad for 2 to 3 more years, and then in Law School for 3 more after that. I'm really worried about regretting not spending some of this time with my famil

Hi, I have an older linux-care cd distro which I think is now the basis for the lnx-bbc releases. It is about 43 meg and uses blackbox as a window manager. It loads up with a stripped down version of Mozzilla but it allows me to get on the network surf the web on almost any box that boots to cd.
