sorry about the dig at you about non-standard hardware Wink


Its cool, i actually thought you were diggin into me for being an anti-Mac (was confused because i said nothing anti-mac Wink )

On hardware failures, ive allways built my own PC's so thats not the problem, I find the problem is with proprietry hardware you have to wait for parts etc (as apposed to any of my Clone desktops if ANY part fails i can have a new one purchased and installed in the time it takes to drive to my local PC store)

As for the old hardware, i might look into this option, my FreeBSD box is my old workstation recycled (1ghz Athlon, 512mb ram) and performs better during development of my current project (which requires running apache tomcat, mysql, intellij idea (java IDE) all on the same PC) than my other computer which is a 2.4ghz, 512mb ram running windows XP, i am really starting to loose any faith i had in windows and have taken a liking to FreeBSD

FreeBSD's biggest problem is setting it up, it can be a real pain in the ass, right now i cant get flash to work its killing me. Just to get my MS wireless mouse to work i had to patch the kernal Wink BUT after all that work, it is far more stable and offers simlar performance than my faster windows xp box doing the same thing

My biggest problem is i need to keep a windows box around so i can keep up with windows based stuff programing wise.

I wish i could just walk away from computers, live off the land or something. They can be real frustrating sometimes. people get confused when i tell them i hate computers, but im a computer programer Laughing
