New Motherboard and CPU (pictures)

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 By kevmille

Last week I upgraded my motherboard and cpu, a yearly ritual for me now.  Arch Linux is now the main system that I run on this desktop.  Gentoo/Funtoo will be there for testing (Funtoo is really fun to play with).  I will also test Pardus, a Turkish linux distribution.  It may be a good distro to use in the educational setting.

Below are some pictures of me adding the new hardware:

    Why would you go for Pardus for educational purposes?

    Don’t take me wrong, it’s probably a good distro in its own right, but…

    You are already teaching them Linux, which is already quite marginally used. Choosing a distro that is marginally used already within the Linux world is, I’d say, inflicting an unnecessary amount of pain and suffering on your students for no particular reason.

    I would say stick to Fedora, CentOS, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian… any of the actual major ones, with a standard package management system that gives them knowledge they can bring with them somewhere else…

    Ultimately it’s your decision, of course.

    Hey Kevin, is it cost a lot to buy computer parts in Viet Nam?

    @Kevin: but I thought you were teaching in HCMC?

    Why do you regret choosing Ubuntu?
