I want to cheaply build my own Linux/Unix PC, but don't know where to start
I want to cheaply build my own PC that will run the latest versions of Linspire, Fedora Core, FreeBSD and Solaris, but I don't know where to start.
This PC doesn't have to be particulary fast. It's video performance need not be top notch, however, sound quality and sound performance must rock! The hardware should be highly upgradeable, so that it will last a long time. I would like it to be a 64-bit AMD Socket 939 or 754 system with an Athlon 64 processor. I also particularly like
this case,
this power supply and
this cooling system.
This machine will be used mainly to watch DVD movies, listen to music, use productivity applications, use the Internet and for me, it's only user, to learn about and study the different operating systems running on it.

DBIx::Class::StartupCheck(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation DBIx::Class::StartupCheck(3pm)
NAME
DBIx::Class::StartupCheck - Run environment checks on startup
SYNOPSIS
use DBIx::Class::StartupCheck;
DESCRIPTION
This module used to check for, and if necessary issue a warning for, a particular bug found on Red Hat and Fedora systems using their
system perl build. As of September 2008 there are fixed versions of perl for all current Red Hat and Fedora distributions, but the old
check still triggers, incorrectly flagging those versions of perl to be buggy. A more comprehensive check has been moved into the test
suite in "t/99rh_perl_perf_bug.t" and further information about the bug has been put in DBIx::Class::Manual::Troubleshooting.
Other checks may be added from time to time.
Any checks herein can be disabled by setting an appropriate environment variable. If your system suffers from a particular bug, you will
get a warning message on startup sent to STDERR, explaining what to do about it and how to suppress the message. If you don't see any
messages, you have nothing to worry about.
