Betreff: [Hampshire] Advice on buying a Tesco PC
Hi, we 'need' a new PC and the Tesco Ubuntu offering seems good value
for money and saves building a machine myself. It also tells the
market there's a call for Linux.

The more expensive one [1] has a DVD rewriter and more memory which
probably make it worth the extra £50. It also has an AMD 3600 64 Dual
Core processor. Can anyone comment on how well Ubuntu handles that,
and whether you really do get any better throughput for normal
operations? (The cheaper PC [2] has a 2.66 GHz Celeron).

TIA, Peter
