I can build Linux systems with your choice of distribution. I build systems using mainly Asus motherboards and AMD processors, though I've found Gigabyte motherboards to be reliable as well. The hardware specs are negotiable, and I can build your system for a competative, and usually lowest price. If you are reusing a hard disk, it will take a sizeable portion off your price, since the hard drive can be one of the most costly parts of a computer. As for specs, I generally recommend a quad-core processor with 4GB of DDR3 ram in a minimal system, but adding another 4GB and using an 8-core processor is surprisingly inexpensive. My favorite distribution is Arch, because it gives you the flexibility of Gentoo without having to build everything from source, and if you like to package software, nothing beats the AUR, where you can store your own package build files, which are simple Bash scripts, in a searchable database, complete with dependency resolution, where other users can easily find them. Feel free to contact me off-list if you are interested in discussing the details and pricing for your next Linux computer. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?"
