Hello All,
I'm going to assemble a computer on which I will install a Linux distro. I've read widely on the internet about this but am still concerned about compatibility. You see, many people think that compatibility equates to having to compile something or other and dowloading the latest bios to get the system working.
That sort of thing would be beyond me. I don't know what 'compiling' means and can't figure out how to download something if one hasn't got the system working to start with. These are just examples: there are other things as well.
So what I'd like is for some kind person to give me a list of components that would make up a system, either Intel or AMD, that would present the best Linux compatibility available. I don't want to overclock or play games, so don't need cutting edge stuff, but don't want to be relegated to socket 754, for example. I have some pride, you know...
Seriously, I would appreciate some help here.
