Hardware upgrade

[James Conner]

Well, I'm running my new case, mobo, cpu, ram and distro.  I had a problem 
initally because one of the nic cards didn't want to let the system boot.  
This board is extreemely picky.  If anything is wrong, no boot, nothing!  Is 
a good thing, but hard to diagnose.  Actually, with all the fans, it's 
quieter than my old case. :)  I had a few fans that were dying.  Dang, it's 
fast!  Can't accuse KDE 3.x being bloatware.  It's as snappy as KDE1.x was on 
my old P200mmx.  I'm using MDK9.0.  Somethings I like, some I don't.  I don't 
know if I'll keep it or move to SuSE 8.1.  Well, I gotta be at work in less 
than 4 hours and I got to get some sleep.
