Ok, I'm curious about hardware recommendations before I buy the parts for my linux machine. I'm building it under a mini-budget... real mini.
-AMD processor: 1600 athlon(i know this one will work
)
-Any good Socket A motherboards? I searched the net and no one would say weather their MB was linux compatable or not and redhat.com is a pain.
-maxtor for HD?
-hewletpackard CD?
-soundblaster(any)?
-nvidia(any)?
-lancard...?
-256ram, low clock(any)?
Those are very vauge I know but i'm more worried about the companies over all compatability with Linux than any given product. If there is a company that isn't good is there another you may recommend or a specific product that is cheap that you would recommend? Thank in advance for any tips
