Got my other 18.04 issue (netatalk) solved by following compile/make/install instructions for 16.10 (apparently 16.04 is too old, go figure). Yay me. :-O~~~ http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Install_Netatalk_3.1.11_on_Ubuntu_16.10_Yakkety “Exorcists are back – and people are getting hurt”

Just did a drive-by the usual discount suspects, and I can't touch that here. May still end up doing an own build from new parts. https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9V25TC3366 “Reptilians Rule the World, Moon Landing Was Fake”

What's good: wearing stuff that doesn't need ironing
What's bad: ironing.

We're watching the "directors cut extended version", which has discarded scenes restored from assorted damaged/unfinished takes. A bit jarring but the story has continuity. “Reptilians Rule the World, Moon Landing Was Fake”

Pricing out a component build since the refurb thang ain't working for me. Here's what I'm looking at: Nominal budget: $500. Already got: 1TB HDD, 750W PSU, Case [-ish] $69 MSI 760GMA-P34FX mutherboard https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144119 - refurb! - apparently can run XP! $75 Athlon X4-950 (3.5G) CPU https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113456 - allegedly this model is only a year on the market - 65w (!) - believe it or not, out-benchmarks an FX-4300 (3.8G X4 w/ double the cache) $156 16G (2x8) DDR3 $90 R7-250 2G GPU https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127763 - seriously clobbers similar-priced GT-730 models in benchmarks What's bad: this stuff's already obsolete What's good: this stuff's already obsolete (I /always/ buy obsolete) Potential future expansion(s): SSD, GPU, CPU (but memory's maxed out) I reckon it would do me for ~5-10 years “Reptilians Rule the World, Moon Landing Was Fake”

SSD prices have been crashing over the last few weeks, you should absolutely get one as your main system drive. There is no other upgrade comparable to the speed increase you'll get with an SSD.

As you're someone who uses Linux, do you game on Linux? Always used to hear nvidia is better on Linux (using the official driver and not nouveau) Also why I used nvidia because I knew it would "just work", or as close as Linux gets to just working. A

No, I don't game on Linux... haven't really had any problems with free radeon drivers in the past though I understand some of the latest gpus aren't well supported, pretty sure the R7 is ok. “Reptilians Rule the World, Moon Landing Was Fake”

I agree with Ant. If you're struggling to afford it, personally I'd drop the RAM to 8GB (tbh) and go for an SSD. RAM is easy to upgrade in the future, and you'll get a faster and more responsive system in general out of an SSD/8GB RAM than you will from a mechanical HDD and 16GB RAM. ---

75 bucks still won't buy much ssd here. What slows me down isn't booting or launching programs (both which I do infrequently), it's swap thrashing. So a small SSD might "feel" faster out of the box, I'm not sure that would translate into significant time savings for actual productive use moreso than lotta ram. I can wait for ssd prices to fall more before making the plunge. “Reptilians Rule the World, Moon Landing Was Fake”
