| fosburg | I have been playing with 'Linux' and 'Ubuntu' on an old pc for a few months. Now I want to buy a workstation to do video and 3d modeling. Any suggestions? | 02:15 |
| holstein | fosburg: depends on your budget | 02:41 |
| holstein | i think the ATI vs nvidia argument really evens out | 02:42 |
| fosburg | I'm trying to get something for about $1500...box only | 02:46 |
| holstein | yeah... i think you can do that | 02:47 |
| holstein | hard drive prices are up right now, as im sure you have noticed... | 02:47 |
| JackyAlcine | A box for $1500? :P | 02:47 |
| holstein | yeah... i would think 6 or 800 would do you right | 02:48 |
| fosburg | looking at the amd--what about considerations on logic board? | 02:48 |
| holstein | whatever you need... just depends | 02:49 |
| holstein | i like having firewire support, but thats harder and harder to find these days | 02:50 |
| fosburg | As I mentioned before---I'm a user of applications...its another story when it comes to getting the right processing power. | 02:50 |
| holstein | fosburg: check out http://www.system76.com/ if for nothing else cross-referencing | 02:51 |
| fosburg | I have a scanner thats firewire...thats when I was a MAC user | 02:52 |
| holstein | i wouldnt sweat a scanner | 02:52 |
| fosburg | I will do that...again thanks for the help | 02:52 |
| holstein | i would be worried about some DV cam, or for me... audio interfaces that are firewire | 02:52 |
| holstein | i have several PCI firewire cards im hording though with texas instruments chipsets | 02:53 |
| holstein | other than that, any modern system is going to be tolerable | 02:53 |
| holstein | just depends on what you want to spend really | 02:54 |
| fosburg | thanks I'll take a look at www.system76.com | 02:54 |

| Snicksie | anyone knows by accident howto revert installation of a not-working driver? apt-get remove doesnt seem to help with that... i installed some wireless drivers which i though would help me do more with my wireless connection, but now my wireless isnt working anymore, so the logical step was apt-get remove broadcom-sta-common... (the drivers i installed) seems my wireless wont work and now i have to use another OS to have my wireless working :p | 08:44 |

| philipballew | aww. my bad | 19:13 |
| philipballew | MarionV, | 19:13 |
| philipballew | what did it say that caused it to fail | 19:13 |
| bioterror | alt+f2 or f3 should show | 19:14 |
| MarionV | one of the files on the disk failed md5 | 19:14 |
| philipballew | try to download and burn a different disk | 19:14 |
| philipballew | but yes bioterror said what would do it | 19:14 |
