| [slm], I am thinking of buying a new hard drive since my current one has almost reached maximum capacity. I plan to install linux or freeBSD on it also plus some other software. Anyone has ideas on which one to buy (internal drive)? I am looking at the size of 80-100GB. I looked at Western Digital and Maxtor so far. They had a good deal at circuit city for western digital 80G for $80, but I guess I noticed it late. Wassalam Eqbal |

| [slm] 80gb for $80 is a good deal. Fry's had it for the same price after rebates, the FRY's WD one had an 8mb cache, as compared to the standard 2mb cache. |
