Friend of mine is a diehard linux guy and he is wanting me to build him a new linux computer and asked if I would price him out parts for it. Sadly though I dont know squat about linux nor what will run in it. He is prepared to spend 1200-1400 bucks on the computer.
Here is a list of things he wants to do with it to help narrow the suggestions some. He will worry about the software he needs but just giving some examples of hardware he will need to do some of these things.
Running linux ubuntu.
Do photo editing.
Some 3d animations.
Skype
Good sound for music listening.
Photo storage.
Watching internet tv.
I could sit and rattle off parts day and night for running in windows but Im not sure what hardware works for linux. Like say a sandy bridge cpu I dont know if it will run to its full capacity in linux or not etc.
