|    BBBS and New Hardware?    |
|    16 May 15 14:34:30    |
      >> 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        >> 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 tha       >> 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 G       >> 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              I currently have 64 bit BBBS running on 2.6G P4 with with 8G of ram and 2 TB's       of drive space using Ubuntu 14.10.              Yeah, I know. |
