My computer just got fried while I was on vacation in France. I don't have
enough money for a new one, so I'm going to try gleaning parts
from friends to build something.
In the various random junk, anything on the x86 platform that would be good for
building a new box? I'm gonna put Linux on it. Not sure
which distro yet. If I can't get an HD, then I'm gonna run Knoppix (or try
BeatrIX)
(oh, and if anyone else on the list can help me out with anything, let me
know.)
Thanks,
-Mary Kay.
