Hi all,
First time buying through PCS, so thoughts on my spec would be appreciated. I've just listed the (presumably) important/interesting specs.
I'm planning on installing Debian as my OS, so if anyone has had any experience running Debian on this particular machine it would be great to know whether or not it's all run smoothly.
Cheers!
