    FreeBSD or Linux?

    Some recent upgrades have caused me to have a spare P3-600 MHz (w/ 384MB RAM and GF2-MX400 AGP video), and I'd like to run Linux on it. Since its a spare, I just need it for basic web surfing, email, office, mp3s, samba etc. It also needs to work w/ a wi-fi card, as it will be upstairs, and...

    Need a RELIABLE A64 mobo

    Ever since the early reviews, I've liked the features of the MSI K8N Neo Platinum (especially the Gb-LAN it uses). But everyone who owns it seems to be using a beta BIOS, which is kinda hairy to me. Others report problems of Windows failing to boot w/ the SATA ports enabled. Meanwhile, there...
