[ale] Linux on Pentium 4

[Michael Smith]

 Check out the Linux Journal from November of last year.  It's the hardware
issue.  I think I would go with the P3's and toss the saved money towards
SCSI hard drives, memory, and a good video card.  I really think the scsi
and the extra memory will give you more bang than the P4 1.4 with less
memory and IDE drives.  Just my thoughts....

Save the cash -- for the price of two 1.5G P4s, you can get 3 1G P3s.
The CPUs themeselves cost a lot more, and RDRAM costs a LOT mroe.
