I just upgraded my motherboard, processor, and memory for a computer 
that retired its motherboard.

New stuff:  ABIT KV8 Pro MB, AMD64 3400, 512M DDR400 Mem.

Long story short, Windows 2000 bitched at every turn over drivers from 3 
other motherboards that it has had to run in.  Debian (from Knoppix HD 
install) just boots fine with no problems.  It just way faster now.

Finally did get Win2000 problems worked out.  But if I had been a 
newbie, I'd have had to re-install everything from the OS up.

I just thought it kinda nice that Debian didn't have any trouble 
what-so-ever about new hardware.

Later.
