   I have never been a PC game player. So I don't have a need for the best of the   
   best PC's. I have a PS3 when I get urge to blow sh.. Err.. crap up.    
      
      
   > On my Ubuntu 12.04.5 linux system, I'm running the beta dada-2 here (I think   
   >you are also?).. and I've not had any problems with libs, etc.  This system is

   That's what counts. I still have my first PC that was(is) a 4.77Mhz 8088 with   
   20M MFM drive. I ran one of the first versions of Wildcat on it. It had a   
   whopping 512K of ram. The current PC here will do 32 Gigs.
