I'm a huge "Ubuntu Linux" and FreeBSD FanBoy for all my Desktop Machines Needs. On the other hand FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or RHEL and/or RedHat Linux are my go-to choices for my server needs. My New machine will be doing both!

This desktop machine has an excessive, over the top capability for productivity. Working with ample system resources, performance should be fantastic and unwavering. With a more than adequate CPU; The brand new AMD-8150 Processor, which is the fastest 8-Core Processor AMD Currently offers to the market. The CPU out of the box has all 8 cores clocked@3.6Ghz each, blazingly fast! It's been posted on UbuntuForums.org that 4Ghz and can be easily achieved by Overclocking this processor, furthermore a few users willing to push this new expensive hardware to the edge over at the HardForums Community have pushed to beyond 5Ghz!!!!

I joined some time after joining my very first LUG/BUG which was in Paducah, KY as well, sort of the I've replaced since it's own disbandment after I left for Iraq. This project is very interesting and is heading in the right direction in my opinion for opening up new doors utilising distributed computing, shared resources, and an environment of users wanting to progress for the better of mankind.
