Guys, I don't even have a job and I've spent thousands of dollars already in my head!!!
Right now I'm tempting fate by running my brother's really slow computer with an illegal duplicate of Windows XP. My dad gave me a,"You're such a jackass!" look when I suggested I learn to run Linux to keep within the law, and I feel like I'll have a similar problem when the computer I won in the middle of May is finally up and running. I REALLY don't want to alienate my father considering how problematic the relationship is, but then again there's that little matter of potential lawsuits and subsequent legal fees.
I definitely want to learn to run Linux if I build my farm to more than 3 computers. I intend to do some hardcore saving so I can get a dual-core AMD crunching, maybe upgrade my RAM in what I've got.
I meant for this to be a discussion about hardware, but I have a feeling it's going to be either about relationships, copyright law, or both.
I originally intended this to be a totally different topic. I guess I'll have to start a new thread based on my original thought, lol :rotfl:
