I ask for a couple reasons. First of all, if you are spending as much as you are talking about to get a good desktop, you are limiting yourself pretty significantly by only looking at machines with pre-installed ubuntu. If you can install packages from the command line and partition your laptop, you will have zero trouble installing ubuntu.
Second, if you are going to program in any serious manner, then being able to tear down and rebuild a linux install will be a good core skill.
- codegeek 13y agofair enough. So what do you recommend ?
- japhyr 13y agoI haven't owned a desktop in about 8 years, so I can't recommend a specific machine. But I can definitely say that you should consider some machines that don't have linux pre-installed. That said, you do want to order a machine, or parts, that play nice with linux.
