|    BBBS and New Hardware?    |
|    15 May 15 21:43:00    |
      > Hello All,       > I was wondering if anyone has any info on how BBBS works with new(er) PC       > hardware. I am in the process of building a new PC with todays available       > hardware. I will be installing 64 bit Ubuntu on the PC. Currently the PC will       > have a SSD boot drive and 2-4 TB's of SATA storage, an 8 or 10 core processor       >and a minimum of 16G's of Ram. I don't plan on playing any games or the like s       > the video will be a modest PCIe card with 2G onboard. I realize that       >BBBS depends alot on the OS for hardware compatibility. But to the degree that       > BBBS interacts with the PC hardware itself I was curious if there are any       >issues or limitations. I had noticed some minor issues with USB drivers and GU       > issues with previous installs of Ubuntu. Anyone have any thoughts?       > Jeff              I'm running BBBS on 64-bit CentOS 6 with no problems at all. Your specs are       complete overkill for a BBBS machine, so if you're wanting to just run the BBS       in the background, you'll never even notice it running.              Ian              --- BBBS/LiI v4.10 Dada-2        * Origin: The Parity Error (1:153/250)    |
