.... or is it a tectonic shift? The wife is now more sensitive to her
computer performance than am I! So now we go hunting for new hardware.

But all that is negotiable. What is not is that it run Slackware 12.x.
Ergo, that is the benchmark, and why I'm mentioning it here: What are
you guys using for hardware? What is the most rock solid reasonably
performing system (actually, components, I suppose) that Slackers have
found?

Understand that the wife is running my old Tomcat 3 w/ 133MHz Pentium,
now in its 3rd case using who knows what generation of HD, etc. So
virtually anything would be a marked improvement, specifically my
currant Asus CBUX, sporting a faster (1GHz) processor, of course. So
I'm really talking about what I should get when I hand this system down
to her...

A dual core Intel would be splendid, but mobo and chipset have to be
bullet proof under Linux. I know to avoid Invidia graphic stuff, but
nothing else in particular. I also know I could get reams of
information elsewhere, but Slackers (bozos?) know best, I suspect; they
are the least likely to be bullshite artists in any case.

Suggestions, comments, caveats, etc all welcome!

Thanks all,

Longfellow
