I got a new PSU and memory for the board too. I haven't really taken
over anything except the case, the DVD drive and the PATA disk.

I had problems booting into Linux off the install cd until I fiddled
with the kernel command line, so I suspect that is where I will have to
start on the installed kernel.

I deliberated picked a fast board as the girls had moaned about how slow
their old machine was. Hopefully this one will last them a few years...
