I have got a dream machine right next to me! It's a Pentium-133 with
16 MB RAM and it works perfectly with Debian! :))
Probably not what you are looking for... But what do you want to do
with your system? Do you just want to have the best video-card and the
best sound-card that is available? Or should it be a server, which has
to handle thousands of requests all the time?
Here is my configuration, which works great with debian (except some
power management stuff):
Thunderbird 700
MSI-K7pro
256 MB RAM from Samsung with ECC
Asus V6600
Soundblaster 1024
20 GB IBM-DNJA
But this would not cost $2000, would it? Of course you could choose a
faster CPU, a newer video-card, maybe SCSI-HD - it just depends an
what you are planning to do with the machine.
