The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Re: What kind of computer do you use?

My Ubuntu box is a do-it-yourselfer with:
ECS K7S5A motherboard
AMD AthlonXP 1600+ 1.4GHz overclocked to ~1.6GHz
512MB DDR-RAM
80GB Western Digital hard drive for OSs
60GB IBM hard drive for storage
ATI Radeon 9800 that thankfully was easy to get working in Ubuntu

My Yoper box is an ancient IBM ThinkPad 390X with:
Pentium III 500MHz
192MB SDRAM
12GB hard disk


I use Firefox exclusively on any OS it can run on. In the event I am forced to use a computer lab machine without it, I just bring it with me.
