[opensuse] Good fast PC and printer in the UK?
Hello Peeps, Another dull query about hardware recommendations. I need to put a non-technical person onto a fast and comfy (and this means it can be quite expensive) Linux-only desktop PC that's going to route other pcs in the house (including wireless) through to a cable internet box, and onto a decent colour laser that is known to perform well with Linux. It needs to be available in the UK, too. Any thoughts?

You don't need a powerful workstation for this. Believe it or not, a Pentium 133 will work just fine for what you are talking about. My router gateway (including dial-on-demand) is a P250... run level 3 sunning Suse 9.2 --- works great. You do not need expensive hardware for this, and you don't need it to be particularly *fast*. You might consider a commercial wireless router though... not a much fun as setting up your own linux box... -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
