Subject: mobo and cpu upgrade...sweet linux
>Last night I replaced my p166MMX (oc'd to 188) and mobo
>with an Abit BH6 with a Celery 300a (oc'd, for now, to
>338 MHz). As I was told, upon that first startup with
>the new hardware, linux did not care and came up flawlessly.

>Win98 and OS/2, on the other hand, couldn't take it. It
>took a while to get Win98 to accept the new reality (and
>it required about 6 "Restart your computer for changes to
>take affect" idiocies). I haven't tried (yet) to get OS/2
>to run, though I am told it should merely be a matter of
>rem-ing out the native HDD port driver and using a mobo
>supplied driver initially).

>What a relief, is linux. It has become my primary os
>(replacing OS/2 in this role) except for games. It is
>nice to have, literally, NO problems with the change
>in hardware and NO need to reboot for this or that
>change to take affect.

>Just a bit of info for anyone who is planning on a
>hardware upgrade and wondering about the effects.
