Fair enough. Good point. IIRC, it is the dearer option though? For the OP, regarding buying hardware for Linux - always check that it is compatible BEFORE you buy it.

If they won't let you boot with a live CD then (I personally would) go elsewhere. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X _______________________________________________ DunLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ethernal.org/listinfo/dunlug DunLUG Wiki - http://dunlug.kallisti.net.nz/
