The tools aren't available, and they're a pain to create on your own.<BR/><BR/>Linux was designed to be tweaked, so the tools are included.<BR/><BR/>The build vs. buy is a matter of accepting the compromises someone else made, because there are always compromises.<BR/><BR/>I would have used more memory and less hard drive, because that's what the software I work with requires. I would have also used AMD vice Intel because of a couple of the things that the AMD does better than the Intel chip that only probably affect 1 in 10000 users.<BR/><BR/>That's the worth of rolling your own.<BR/><BR/>Hey, if things worked out of the box, I would be out of a job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-49667659215303606662007-06-11T00:13:00.000-07:002007-06-11T00:13:00.000-07:00Pyglalgia, unless your day job includes creating L...Pyglalgia, unless your day job includes creating Linux distributions from scratch to fit into flash memory inside embedded appliances, don't feel bad that you don't know about Linux as I do. I lavish love and money on my computer equipment because this is what I make my living with. I'm good at it, I enjoy it, and nevermind that I would have been better off just buying a new computer (not that there's anything original left inside my old computer except the DVD-RW drive and the actual chassis itself), putting together my own computers from pieces and parts is just part of what I do. I learned long ago that going cheap on the tools of your trade is a loser's game. I also learned that if you want it done right, too often you have to do it yourself (sigh!). <BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Linux PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-44793954344232952652007-06-10T19:38:00.000-07:002007-06-10T19:38:00.000-07:00Umm, okay.I don't upgrade until I have to.
