My PC died two days ago. I thought it was the powersupply, but it was the powersupply and the motherboard. I guess one caused the other to break.

I bought new hardware. P4 mobo’s are hard to get nowadays, so I decided to dive into: 64 bits. AMD’s are cheap nowadays, so I bought a Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (dual core, 3GHz each), a motherboard that had AGP (instead of PCI-e), 4GB of memory (4×1GB) and to complete it all: a 500GB SATA harddisk to replace two old, noisy, heat-producing SCSI disks.

Today I assembled the whole shebang. Whilst putting together the system, I was still in doubt whether I would install Solaris 10 64bits or Ubuntu Feisty 64bits. I like Ubuntu very much, but Sun has tons of experience in 64bits. And I like Solaris.
