hmmm. interesting point. Maybee we should have some install-fest's like they do abroad, where we all bring systems together, and the guru's do a kind of show-and-tell. You learn how to install on various hardware, and you get your machine properly installed too. In general, there are very few pieces of hardware that i have ever come across that i havent been able to get to behave. A little bit of time and effort is all it takes to get any hardware up and usable in linux, in my experience.
What do you say guys, how about an installfest?
We had planned for having an install fest when we last met in February at Five Gardens. Maybe we should take it forward and actually have an install fest.
My query was not related to an install how-to but to know what hardware is being used by the experts for their business. While everyone is giving details of their own hardware, what I would like to know is the motherboards used for customers' workstations. The reason is that for self owned hardware, a lot of time is available to experiment and it is purchased only once. There are many big players on this list, who install 50, 100 or more systems at a stretch in big companies and the hardware used will have to be one that requires minimum setup time. It is this hardware detail that I am looking for, from the last six months. I would highly appreciate if the big players can provide these details, at least for 5 latest mobos used for their clients.
Thanks,
Rony.
