Hi, > I'm considering replacing some hardware here (Mommyboard, CPU, etc.) and > can't find any online hardware review sites that routinely test with > Linux. Can anyone point me to some (even one would be a good start)? I'm not aware of any specific sort of site. Personally, I'd use a half decent motherboard (something like a Gigabyte board) and avoid the SiS/ VIA "everything on a chip" sort of hardware. Soundcards - just about anything will work in my experience Depending on what you want to do governs the processor type. For games, AMD, for a good workhorse Celeron. If you want to protect against the evils of DRM, Celeron are the only ones which won't want everything "digitally signed" to run - which means it's the best for Linux. I'm not sure if it's still the case that AMD and the Pentium range are following Chairman Bill on that score as they have both been lobbied hard against such a move by the open source community (which the whole of the Palladium BS was designed to kill once and for all) Memory - anything goes, same applies to HDs, CDs, Zip and DVDs Don't buy cheap - you'll end up with crap.
