Thanks Mike, I will look into the link you passed, what mobo are you using, how
much ram memory. I want al lest 250 mg hd and 2 - 4 g memory. I do like asus, but
need to ck if asus has a mobo that is Linux ready. This will be the last big
upgrade for a while, my wife only allows this every 3 or 4 years.

cheers
