| Re: Hello from Norway Welcome holihue, nice to have you here.  Many of us came over from the Ubuntu forums, so you'll find a lot of linux users. I have one of the new Dell Ubuntu machines, an Inspiron Desktop 530 N. Here's the specs: PROCESSOR - IntelŪPentiumŪ dual-core processor E2140 (1MB L2,1.60GHz,800 FSB) OPERATING SYSTEM - Ubuntu Desktop Edition version 7.04 MONITOR - 17 inch ViewSonic VA1703wb LCD Monitor MEMORY - 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs HARD DRIVE - 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache OPTICAL DRIVE - 48X CD-RW/ DVD Combo Drive VIDEO CARD - 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS SOUND CARD Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio KEYBOARD & MOUSE - Dell USB Keyboard and Dell Optical USB Mouse I use all open source programs, so it's Firefox, Thunderbird, and OOo, for my primary needs. Any other miscellaneous programs I use, come from the repositories. And finally, I use Bose earphones, so no desktop speakers. Edit: By the way, this is the standard hardware set-up from Dell on this model. The only thing I changed was the amount of RAM, from 512 meg to 1 gig.

2. Mostly firefox, sometimes Konqueror, and, when I'm using FreeBSD and waiting for a big port to compile, w3m  .3. I use a desktop machine mostly, but I also have an aging laptop that I use for word processing and web browsing, and my school uses Macintoshes. 4. Athlon 64 3200+ on the desktop and some kind of Pentium on the laptop. 5. I use the proprietary nvidia graphics driver on the desktop and the F/LOSS nv driver on my laptop. Quote:
