on 2/12 I returned home to find my apartment building on fire. Unfortunately my unit was involved but fortunately most of my things made it through the fire and just have to be cleaned (elbow grease...it still works). However the comp may not have made it as it got dropped when it was transfered to a friends house. I'm hoping to salvage the hard drive.
At any rate my hand has been forced (thank god!!) and I'm converting to linux and building a new box. However the last time I built a comp was in 2000 and while I had a grasp of things back then I'm overwhelmed right now. Any recommendations for motherboards (I just saw the Asus A7V8X-MX SE and it seemed nice) that work with AMD would be greatly appreciated. I intend to surf the web mostly, play flash games (if I can in linux...I forget), download using bittorrent, and write code in php, java, perl, xml, and whatever else my fancy suits my whim.
