Running linux on Dell Dimension 8400
Introduction
I'm about to buy a home-computer. The main requirements for this are:
- Record and play video (Myth-TV)
- Play music
- Doom 3
- Photo editing
- Running linux (I just hope I can get Doom to work...)
Update: The computer is finally in-house, I'll add post updates here as I get it installed.
