Over winter break (which happened to be quite a while ago), my uncle and I decided to go out to Fry's and buy parts to build a computer, just a as a project. We bought a computer case, amd processor, motherboard, graphics card, network card, and some other components and hauled back to my house, where we took to the onerous task of actually building it. I can say, after the fact, that this was an extremely tedious experience. Physically hooking up everything was not difficult at all, but it took awhile for us to actually get the computer to start. As it turns out, the bios was not updated to be compatible with the certain amd processor we were trying to use, so we had to put in a different processor in order to update the bios, and then replace it with the new processor. Anyways, the computer, now that it runs linux almost flawlessly, is awesome. I'm still trying to figure out everything that comes with this OS. I'm also trying to learn my way around the unix shell commands, which is a large part of it.
