I don't know what Compaq, or other Big-name brands you use, but I've got a
Compaq Deskpro 2000 that works like a champ with out of the box Linux
install. No problems, ever. Uptime shows 168 days and counting. So you
must have gotten a bad Compaq. I personally have had more problems getting
NT installed and correctly configured than I have Linux. I know, I
administered Linux boxes for a local ISP and I administer NT boxes for my
present employer.

Freedom of Speech... just watch what you say.
