Finally got round to building and setting up my Ubuntu box. Took me about 3 hours to have everything ready after replacing the power supply, installing Ubuntu 6.06 and upgrading it to 6.06.1.

With AMD having reduced the prices on their processors, I thought I'd treat myself to a few new components. I could have gone the way of the Conroe chips as they are seriously kicking butt in the benchmarks department, but I decided to stick with AMD due to my limited budget.
These are the things that I got:
- A Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 motherboard
- A Zalman CNPS9500 AM2
- An AM2 X2 4400+ CPU
- A Seagate 300GB SATA harddrive
- 2 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-667 memory chips (had to go a bit low on this one, the DDR2-800 was a bit too steep in price for me)
- 2 x 7600 GS SLI video cards (again budget issues)

Ubuntu, which has become one of the world's most popular Linux distributions in recent years, launched its latest version on June 1 following months of intense testing. The new release is titled Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support), and has a specific emphasis on the needs of large organisations with both desktop and server versions.
