[00:52] is there a way i can stretch my xubuntu partition to the full size of my hdd [00:53] pretty much i want to merge sda1 with sda5 pretty much [02:15] 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? [02:41] fosburg: depends on your budget [02:42] i think the ATI vs nvidia argument really evens out [02:46] I'm trying to get something for about $1500...box only [02:47] yeah... i think you can do that [02:47] hard drive prices are up right now, as im sure you have noticed... [02:47] A box for $1500? :P [02:48] yeah... i would think 6 or 800 would do you right [02:48] looking at the amd--what about considerations on logic board? [02:49] whatever you need... just depends [02:50] i like having firewire support, but thats harder and harder to find these days [02:50] As I mentioned before---I'm a user of applications...its another story when it comes to getting the right processing power.
