Hello, I am going to get a Computer from BestBuy since it is the only decent computer in the price range I have been set... And I'm not so happy about the fact of this little inconvience of Windows XP Home Edition. Now, I have made myself a promise to get away from Windows ASAP. I'm going o install RedHat 7.3 on this computer http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=11165003&m=488&cat=490&scat=491 do you see anything that wouldn't be compatible since someone on an IRC server to make sure that everything was compatible first (irc.computingchat.ath.cx:6667 nice plug, eh?). So here I am making sure :\

Thanks for your help, if any

Why not check out some of the machines from walmart with Mandrake pre-installed...

Or they have machines without an OS, if you like...

Personally I wouldnt buy a pc from best buy, I would suggest trying to shop around more, im sure you can find a place with better prices.  Especially if your planning to order off the net.  When I clicked on the link it said temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, so I dont know about the combatability, but you can check at the site for witch ever distro your planning on getting.

not to piss anyone off, but i think the guys at best buy are clowns. i would recomend the system from walmart, there wouldn't be any compatibliity issues with it, it would be under warrenty, etc etc.

Thats what im saying those fuckers rarely know what their talking about, and they dont care what you want, as long as they get their commission from the sale...
