The shifting balance of power
Condescending Linux user

Karen's motherboard died, and we went in to Indianapolis to buy a replacement at Fry's. Naturally, nothing made these days supports her existing CPU and memory, so we had to replace those as well.

After the money was spent, Karen decided that she didn't really need both a laptop and a desktop computer. So I gleefully appropriated her unwanted hardware and installed 64-bit Debian Etch on it.

For the first time, I now have a Linux machine that's more powerful than my Windows workhorse. At least until the parts arrive for my dual-core upgrade.

Actually, I decided that you needed a better computer more than I needed two computers. Since my laptop is so fierce.
