<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi Marc,<br><br>I'm looking for a computer to run Linux so I needn't dual boot my laptop. I'm just a boarderline/new/sometime user of Linux struggling to learn Ubuntu.<br><br>I've found my laptop overheats in Linux when I rip CDs (but not in Windows) and I don't want to harm it. So I've been thinking about getting a used box. I think CD ripping might be a good way to ease into Linux.<br><br>Do you think the P3 would have enough speed to rip CDs in Linux? I find my mobile 1.6GHz pentium servicable but slow. What do you think?<br><br>Thanks for listing your boxes,<br><br>Bruce<br>Roseville<br><br><font style="color: rgb(195, 190, 113); font-style: italic;" size="2"><br><br><br>-------<br><font style="font-family: symbol;" size="2"><br></font></font><h3 style="font-family: symbol; font-style: italic; color: rgb(195, 190, 113);"><font size="2">Twenty-Fifth
