“Pat picks out his top three machines for Linux. Linux is
known for being picky on hardware, but the latest advanced in Linux
are making the latest Linux machines looking beefier than
ever.”
“With Linux hitting harder and harder every day, we now need a
die-hard Linux machine. It’s no longer a Linux box. I see Linux box
as pushing the fact that it is a machine full of extra hardware
with no guts. With new technologies such as KDE 2.0, XFree86 4.0,
and more and more drivers hitting each day, Linux is becoming more
and more a core operating system every day.”
“Why not dual-boot? Dual booting is just fine, except you don’t
want to be stuck with archaeic hardware in Windows. With all the
new revolutions hitting in Linux, finally Windows and Linux can
coexist.”
“Sorry no Winmodems allowed, although (unless you run OpenLinux
2.4). Besides, Winmodems are software modems, who would want one of
those?! At any rate, buying good hardware is becoming more and more
difficult with all the choices out there, making buying hardware
for a Linux box or for a dual-boot machine even harder than it
looks. With this I delve into the three greatest Linux machines in
their class.”
