Hi there,

Could you please recommended me places where I can buy linux compatible hardware online? I'm looking for a printer right now, but advice on any kind of hardware would be helpful. I'd be especially happy to find a linux-only online store.

The Dell web site doesn't mentioned the graphic card for the Dell Poweredge SC430. It has one, since it does support a monitor but it doesn't mention the type, brand and the specs. Anyone know? I believe its a built-in graphics card on the mother-board. Thanks!

My monitor POWER cable says: 10A, 250V. my CPU power cable says 6A, 250V.

Recently, my monitor stopped working, so as a part of hit and trial, i exchanged these two wires. So, although my monitor is using a 6A cable instead of 10A.. my CPU is getting 4A excess than what its wire said initially.

Is this safe?? Will i end up blowing up my CPU??

Is it true Mac isn't vulnerable to virus attacks and therefore does not require any antivirus software? I'm planning to buy a Macbook. I've been using Windows all my life.
