[Ham-Computers] Too stupid to own a PC

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

    Thanks, Jeff. From all I've gathered so far, it looks like simply 
obtaining a SATA cable will let me mount the drive internally. This 
whole SATA thing is new technology to me, but found with some help from 
Aaron that I have more connectors available on the motherboard. That at 
least eliminates USB as an I/O bottleneck.

    As far as LINUX goes, I do have some experience with it. I have 
several CDs I burned from ISOs as you mentioned, and at one point 
managed to set up a dual-boot system on a single hard-drive PC. Can't 
remember which flavor of LINUX, though! That's the age thing starting to 
show up hi hi!

    Going to order a cable, and in a few days will probably be back here 
(or in the LINUX forum) screaming for help again!!

    Thanks to all for the great suggestions and information! This group 
is great!
