I'm still building mine, but i'm going for a quick and fast web surfer. I've tried running as my main OS but i keep ending up needing to much. I'm setting up the computer i'm using now for home working. I've installed the new Xubuntu with all i need to take care of basicly everything i have problems with in DSL. I'm building a dedicated DSL machine from scratch, i have almost everything, i'm going the extra mile and getting everything all new for my DSL machine, so far i have the monitor(a friend sold me his compac cheap,brand new never even opened the box, it came with his new rig but he had his own),keyboard and mouse(gyration suite,on sale), just picked up the router this morning so i can split my wireless connection to both computers. I'm taking my time selecting my motherboard because it's going to be on 24/7 and i want it to last and not fall short of my needs. I spent all day setting up this machine and with hard drives and fans the beast is hot and loud. It's funny when running DSL in ram on this rig with no hd's and all fan's(except cpu fan) unplugged the beast never even got warm to the touch and so quiet you couldn't tell it was on, now that i'm putting it back to a bloated system, i'm really missing my DSL setup, which just makes me want to finish it quick so i can turn this bloated beast off till it's needed.
