Well, I don't know much about windoze. He currently has a 40Gb drive |
| 31 |
that only has about 2Gbs left. I need to google for a howto or |
| 32 |
something. I got a 80Gb drive that I wish I could scoot it over onto. |
| 33 |

He does want Linux tho. We were planning to build a new rig like mine |
| 35 |
but he had to buy a new mower. He mows grass for a living and the new |
| 36 |
mower was over $8,000.00. The new rig is on the back burner now. He |
| 37 |
has a prebuilt rig right now, Gateway I think. I would be scared to |
| 38 |
compile Gentoo on that stock heat sink. It is a single core ~1.8Ghz |
| 39 |
with about 768Mbs of ram. It is maxed out ram wise and the CPU won't |
| 40 |
take much improvement either. It would take me days to install even if |
| 41 |
it had a nice heat sink on the CPU. I was thinking Mandrake, bunto, |
| 42 |
slack or something. I been using Gentoo so long, I don't even know what |
| 43 |
else is out there anymore. lol |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
See the problem? Some of it me. lol |
