Main system is a home-built PC

Dual-Boot Win 2000 Pro and Cassandra

Intel P4 3.2GHz
2GB OCZ Platinum RAM (PC3200 2-3-2-5)
Gigabyte GA-8KNXP motherboard
ATI Radeon X800 XT PE (256MB)
6 IDE hard drives (2 on removable trays)
2 optical drives (BenQ DW-1640 & Yamaha CRW-F1)
2 SATA drive in RAID-0 (Windows 2000 Pro on these)
AFT Flash Card reader (reads just about everything)
Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250 tuner

Dual 19 inch monitors (LCD on DVI port & CRT on VGA)

I haven't tried the Hauppauge tuner under Linux yet, but everything else works great. I run a local gigabit network with 3 other computers through a D-Link router. Network speed is slower in Linux than Windows. Haven't tried to trouble-shoot that yet.

Aloha, Tim

Mine is also custom/homebuilt, but on a 17 year olds budget :P .

Celeron D (2.8GHz...says 2.66 on the box, but with some tweaks...)
512MB RAM (need more!)
Foxconn Mobo
2 Sata HDD (one for / (30GB), the other for /home/civint (120GB))
And a XFX GeForce 6200...which I will be making use of the dual monitor ness which I am informed the 6200 can support, which will be fun!
I am running desktop effects from "desktop effects"...dunno if it's different to using beryl or compiz, but it works like a dream. I did also have xp on my HDDs, but in a install, it screwed up my mint install as well, so I had to do a fresh HDD, which turned out to be a good thing, since it's all now under control.

I have Mint installed on a Dell XPS 410, so far the only hardware issue I've had is that the system would not do a restart until I added "reboot=b" to my menu.lst. Everything has worked perfectly out of the box.

I also have Mint installed on my notebook, an Acer Aspire 5630, I didn't have to fuss with anything on that install.

AMD 2800+ with 512 SDram, 20gb hdd, floppy, 52x CD, Nvidia MX440 video, Asus A7N8x-x mobo. NO WinSlows, just Cassandra.

Everything works - sound, video, internet, network, NTFS mounts etc straight out of the box.

What an easy distro for a noob to Linux.

I've installed Mint Casandra XFCE on my Acer 4052LMi - modified with 2Gb RAM and Hitachi Travelstar 100Gb fast disk.

The smoothest installation I've yet experienced. All applications work out of the box.

WiFi particularly easy to setup.
