So in the sense that it hosts the mail server for my personal domain, then yes, it's a server. But in every other sense it's "just" my personal computer. One board at Newegg that is inexpensive yet from the reviews looks like a good one is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392. I've been running on a Gigabyte board for the last 5 (or so--can't recall exactly) years and it has always "just worked", so I wouldn't mind another. But what I don't know how to tell is if chipsets have Linux support (in my preferred OS, not the latest unreleased Fedora Rawhide, or next year's still pre-alpha Ubuntu), or even with chipset support does the darn thing work or not? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------ ---- Do you not know?
