<div>Thanks Jim!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My extremely old server died this morning, may her AMD 32-bit soul rest in peace. My very old lap/desktop, a refurb IBM T30, is slow enough as is with Fedora. I'm looking to learn OpenStack but all my tech was pre-hypervisor. Most of my education, as well, so I hear the terms but need to find docs to read to catch up to this century. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Once I get that education I need to find a low to medium cost source of supply. Sadly, I'm several hours from ATL so don't have quite the access as you guys. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So my questions devolve to:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Where is a good read on current CPU and Motherboard technology?</div>
<div>1.a. Deep enough to explain topics like hypervisor, SATA vs ??, other options.</div>
<div>1.b. Information on disk arrays for home storage.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. For the hard core hardware geeks, what brands do you find most Linux friendly and more reliable? I'm not a speed junkie but I keep gear for eons.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. For mail-order, what vendors have we had the best response from? Are there ATL based vendors who would ship?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
<div> </div>
