“Dell.com/Open”:http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

If you can do without a monitor, you can get the E520 model for only 400 bucks. Great if you’re needing another computer right now!

For what you’re getting at that price (1.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo processor, 1 Gb RAM, 250 Gb of hard drive space), it’s a farking steal. Plus, you’re supporting the open source community with your purchase.

Now, don’t go out and buy one if you can’t afford it (duh), but if you’re in the market for a new computer, check it out.

Doing several things all at once, now:

I’ve got a permanent solution set up for the Ventrilo server for the GUILD — one that won’t change addresses, even if mine does.

I’m working on helping everyone with their respective computers:

I’m getting a “new case”:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147010 this week… My brother and I are speeding up our respective computers a bit, too… I’m trying to help my brother-in-law sell his nice (but highly proprietary) Dell computer for some new, nicely upgradeable stuff… I’m trying to help my sister out with a new gaming PC, too… “Nina”:http://sophisticat.org’s already got a super-fast computer, so blegh! blegh!! :p

And I’m trying to do all of this without spending hardly any money at all! Yay!

I’m also working on the site here a bit — I started messing with the commenting system, but haven’t finished it, though it still works.

I’m working on fully integrating the “jQuery”:http://jquery.com JavaScript library (I’m liking it a LOT more than the old moo.fx stuff).

Been busy lately!

Between moving to a new place, and trying to get the internet set up at it, and getting all of my computers set up (which I still haven’t done), and finishing up a major project at work, I’ve been busy as hell!

I’m also trying to set up a new Ventrilo server for everyone, but I’m having a LOT of trouble with that as of right now, mostly because Charter Internet (my ISP) doesn’t give our static IP’s to residential customers. Assholes!
