New PC

elbeno, 24 September, 200726 September, 2007

I’ve acquired a new PC from the office flea market at the knockdown price of $50. With an Athlon 2200, GeForce 4400, and 1.5GB of RAM, it’s going to be my MAME machine. A significant step up from my previous MAME machine (Athlon 800, GeForce 3, 0.5GB of RAM). My only dilemma is whether to put Gutsy or Feisty on it. Gutsy releases on October 18th, so I could go for Gutsy tribe 5.

Also, I’ve been wanting to do something to contribute to Ubuntu, but I’m not sure how to effectively get started doing that without effectively making my system unstable in some way. Seems to me that to be able to fix bugs or whatever I’ll need to be on the bleeding edge?
