I've decided I need another hobby, so I'd like to get a cheap-but-decent Intel compatible system to run Linux on. Problem is, I have no clue what the market for such systems is like. Some background on myself: I own several Macs at home, and have (...) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
