Ok, it came up several times in my Linux discuusions, what type of equipment do you purchase and why?
Do you buy generic, brand name, cutting edge, older, and why? For what purposes do you buy what?
Do you trust beige boxes for servers, desktops, etc? Well known brands for network equipment or just stick with the well known?
Do you have issues with them? Drivers, compatibility, performance, durability?
Internal componenets…CD-Roms, burners, DVDs, hard drives. Do you have a generic you would recommend?
And why not open this wide open. Software…have any little known gems we should all know about?
Tell us your strategies to fill your needs and stay within the budgets…
