Im going to build a new comp and want to know, does anyone have an idea what parts go well w/ linux OS's used for stuff like SOHO? :confused: :o Or does Linux not have any parts that work especially well w/it, and Linux is just sorta thrown out there.
Help?
 
As far as i know about linux, which isn't much further than a couple MaxPC articles, linux doesn't perform better with certain parts, but if your into gaming, I wouldn't waste a bunch of money on a great video card, processor, etc. , b/c as you should know, linux'scompatibility with games is very lacking. That's the only reason it hasn't caught on with more PC users. If your getting it for other uses, I'd just build the PC to suit your needs.
 
Linux Hardware or Linux hardware to check your hardware BEFORE you purchase, not after. Linux may have problems with onboard modems, inexpensive printers or older ATI video cards. Check on the net and be sure...remember Google is your friend ;)

The OS has rarely been a consideration when it comes to core components ... for the most part, brand name parts tend to work well

I was very impressed the first time I installed a Linux distros. It was as even easier setup than Windows and the infamous "Plug and Play"...

With newer hardware its pretty damn good but when dealing with older techs and especially with small name products, Linux is a bit on the flakey side (which is quite epxected and understandable)

You are mistaken. Linux and Mac OSX System's actually rule. :p

Roughly 90% of desktop computers disagree with your statement.


I WAS reading that by 2007 some believe it will drop to around 58%..
 
Most all of the servers that serve all those windows desktops the internet , are Linux/Unix. Linux is a very robust and powerfull OS. Its just not for everyone.
 
Cease the banter about OSes -- or take it to General Software. For the record, the Windows platform rules whether you take it from a consumer or more effectively so, a developer's perspective. Whether it should rule or not is a completely different issue and that's worthy of useful debate however the fact of the matter is, Windows is, for now, the de-factor operating system of choice -- if you seriously think otherwise, consider writing to the Janet Reno to start yet another appeal process for the antitrust suits against Microsoft.
