Hi there,
Ever since I met "Linux" I am considering buying a PC. The model I am
planning to buy is
Gateway 2000 4DX2-66V
I know that this model is in the Hardware compatibility list but I
would like to hear from people using this PC. More specificaly I have
the following question:
- Will Linux run "out of the box" or will I have to
recompile the kernel in order to use the cd-rom ?
If so which driver will I need?
- Is the "ATI Ultra XLR VL-bus 1MB VRAM" card compatable
with X or do I have to "downgrade" to "ATI Ultra Pro VL"
- How noisy is the computer (Baby AT? Tower ?)
- What do you think of the computer...
Also, I plan to buy a printer... Gateway2000 sells Panasonic KX-P1624/
P-2123 I have no idea of what the capabilities of those printers are.
Any info? Advice?
So as not to waste bandwidth, email me your answers, flames, ... If you
want to know the answers, ask me and I'll forward you any answer I get.
Thanks,
Francois
