hardware quote comments?
Dear People,
I got the following quote for a computer (now quite old). I am thinking of
going with this, with the modification that I'll be using the Microsoft
Intellimouse Explorer instead of the Logitech.
The price is probably quite a bit more than I would pay if I was to build
it myself but these people are going to do a Debian installation, do some
stress-testing, and make sure everything works properly before sending it
to me. At least, that is the idea. This is worth quite a lot to me, since
it would be a nightmare to purchase expensive equipment and then not be
able to use it under my preferred platform.
I just wondered if anyone had thoughts/comments about the hardware
configuation. I was just told that the Realtek ethernet card was a piece
of junk and that I should use something else instead, so I was thinking of
the 3com (10/100) PCI. Comments?
Thanks in advance for your feedback/input.
Sincerely, Faheem Mitha.
