How do you like that case bbq? I'm thinking full tower for my next build, but if I find the right mid-tower...

I like it a lot, its light and easy to move if need be, plenty of ventilation and looks quite minimal and clean. I was using an Antec Titan which is super mega solid, i now use that for my little home server.

The case on the desk is an Antec 300. Worth it for sure

Installed Fedora 12. Love the default wallpaper



Its sad that nVidia's driver doesn't work i.e., no desktop effects I'm hoping their Linux release of the 195.62 driver fixes the issue. On the bright side, my Creative X-Fi sound card has way better support from ALSA's driver compared to creative's beta driver.

Nice, Desktop effects always have been a pain on Fedora , i am sure you can get them working if you install the drivers and jump through the hurdles. I found ubuntu 9.10 works out of the box and as a result i have relieved myself of the issues concerning drivers as they seem to cover just about everything needed

There's a problem with Fedora 12 and nVidia's 190.42 driver (Click Here for Details). I started using GNU/Linux because of Fedora Electronic Lab (http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/). Ubuntu does have most of this software in its repository but installing it in Fedora is way easier

[DaneAU]

Hrmm i think you will find apt-get and aptitude to be rather perfect Give it a try if you don't get things working properly

[Louisda16th]

Well what I meant was this... To install all the available EDA software I need all I have to do is run:

sudo yum groupinstall 'Electronic Lab'

I don't know think Ubuntu has a similar grouping for its EDA software. I do use Ubuntu a lot though. Mostly help my friend test it (he works for Canonical).

My Ubuntu Hardy Heron

And that is what the comp setup looks like. I just need more desk space.

[DaneAU]

Nice, i wouldn't mind double monitors again, i don't use it anymore as one is 19" and one is 22" and i can't stand my workspace not to be symmetrical

Yea a return to your left would be good for the lappy and give you some room to write should you need to

ps :: nathanpc have you got a link to that background ? I like it and want it
