I am just curious what is everyone's setup? What computer are you using? Is it a mashup of parts that you had laying around? One that you had previously and wiped the OS on it? What processors are you using? How much memory do you run?
I myself am using an old hp Pavilion a6303w that used to run Windows XP on it. It has 2 gigs of ram with an Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2140 processor. I am using this to run Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver) with the Mate 1.20.1 GUI. This may not be the greatest setup to be using. This is my first attempt at making a Linux computer.
The tower and the computer both need some work. I am missing a couple of bay covers where optical drives are. I will be replacing them with HDD or SSD's (Most likely with HDD's since I have a couple of them laying around). I will be adding a much faster processor and maxing out the ram to 8 gigs when I have the funds to do so.
