<DIV><SPAN class=596133922-03122003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm finally getting
fed up with my ancient Pentium 60MHz 96MByte Ram, machine and am thinking of
buying a replacement for the sole purpose of running Fedora.... I don't really
care if the GUI works, I'll probably set the machine at runlevel 3 (is that the
one for "normal" use, non-gui?)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

on this list there's a lot of comments/problems with nvidia graphics cards....
if I'm looking to buy a machine, should I avoid nvidia all together? And if so,
what's a better choice?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=596133922-03122003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking to spend
around $600-$800 ... I don't need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, I don't even need
a large hard disk. I thought I would remove whatever hard disk comes with it,
putting in a "spare" 120GB disk I have.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
