Hi,
        Finally a topic that I can add a knowledgeable $.02.  Well the celeron is a
a great chip if you know how to exploit it right.  For a list of parts get a
good quarlity bx chipset motherboard like an ABIT or ASUS P2B.  You will
also need PC100 memory(I'll explain).  Then the standard parts for any other
computer.  The reason  why you want a good bx board and PC100 memory is you
can overclock the daylights out of a celeron.  I currently run mine
@400(4x100) from a 266 and have had it running 24x7 for 2 months with no
crashes.  The success rate for over clocking I have seen runs around 90-95%
and I have even seen a few go up to 448(4x112).  While it may lack 2nd level
cache which makes it a dog the way it comes, when you crank it up to 400+(1
jumper difference) it kicks butt especially considering its price.  For more
info I suggest www.tomshardware.com , for prices on parts www.pricewatch.com
.   Thanks and have a good day.

Brian D.

Hello,

I was reading your thread and would like to make a comment.  The Celeron
costs about $100US, which for what it does is very reasonable.  I would
like to know "what list of stuff" is need to make it work.  For $200US you
have a MB and a CPU that should do very well for Linux.

My two cents,
