Re: [PLUG] no frills computer advise

["Gavin W. Burris" <bug@wharton.upenn.edu>]

Hi, Keith.

I'm on my four generations of Linux HTPC, so far.  I am a DIY guy, but
try to focus my time on system software configuration, not warranty
parts return.  :)

I went from a noisy beige-box VA Linux system, to a mini System76 PC, to a
Shuttle XPC with AMD Black CPU and discrete ATI graphics, and now I'm
on an Asus EeeBox with Intel Atom and integrated Nvidia graphics.  

So I'm currently on the small and integrated kick.  This might be
something to consider:

Cheers.
