I have to say the hardware configuration with vector was just great, no headaches or hair pulling. It installed very easily, even on this old gateway box which I'm sure has alot of not so common components.
I have an old matrox g100 4 monitor video card. In windows, it can do 1280x1024 on 4 seperate monitors. I plan on trying that video card with the next vector pc I will put together from my trashpile... Er um I mean my stash of high quality, slightly older components.

I think its funny actually, my new vectorpc built from trash parts is seeing alot more use every day than my fairly new vista machine. I find myself just enjoying working (playing some might say) on the vector pc, much like I did on my old beloved amiga. (Yes remember when you actually enjoyed the time you spent in front of your computer, that computer you actually really liked?) I feel exactly like that now about my vector pc, I just
really enjoy using it, its quickly becoming my favorite computer since my amiga, and thats a LONG time ago.
Vector linux is running beautifully on this old doorstop. I can't wait to get a newer motherboard and try vector on a newer processor. I may also install it to my sony vaio laptop, which is kind of older but should be very useful for audio projects with vector....
Portable vector would just be awesome!
EXETERDAD... I kind of agree with you on the matching monitors, but I happen to have two matching 15 inch flatscreens, so if I did the 3 monitor setup I'd just need a BIG monitor for the center... The side monitors would match. And I too haven't the NEED for it, but it would just
be cool to have. The workspace setup in linux makes that kind of unneccessary, but it would be
nice to have all that desktop space I think.
