The Next Challenge

Linspire has the latest beta of their OS available, I know I wasn't going to bother with it, but the Linspire beta on my HP laptop isn't working so well, so I will probably download it tonight and install it over the weekend (it only takes 15 minutes to install vs 2 hours for Microsoft). I said I wouldn't on the previous post , so I guess Linux is some kind of an addiction.
I might check out Suse 10, I see that is available via bit torrent. I really like Suse, 10 had KDE 3.4 and other new things. Unfortunately, I have always had problems with Suse hardware detection, Suse doesn't work some of my machines that other Linux will run on without a problem. I also need to do some checking to see if there are repositories, I am pretty sure that TexStar has a Suse repository, but I hate install an OS then not being able to install the programs that I want.
I also need to take the hard drive out of my server and slap it into my other faster computer. The server is just to slow and the onboard video is lame.
I am also toying with the idea of setting up a computer with speakers in my workout room. I am thinking of taking one of my other computers and running a live Linux version so I don't have to install a hard drive. I would stick a wireless card in it and access my MP3s on my server or listen to internet radio. I am also painting this weekend so I am not sure what I will get done. So many projects so little time.
