My new machine.
About one week ago, I bought a new desktop machine for me. It’s a Intel® Core™2 Duo E4500 with 1Gb of RAM, DVD-RW and 160Gb SATA. The motherboard is a GigaByte™ one with all on-board.
But, the most important thing is that I could install the 64bits (AMD64 port) testing version of Debian, and once the processor has two cores, I can start to learn more about OpenMP and multithreaded programming. I’m writing the steps I used to install the Debian in this machine (AMD64+boot by USB), and it will be available soon.
Other important thing, was about the default operating system that the computer’s shop wanted install in this machine. Here in Brazil, it’s common the computer’s shops installs not original versions of Windows when you buy a new machine. But, in this case, the shop I bought the machine installs by default a version of Ubuntu (I don’t know which one) in all new machines if the customer didn’t buy a Windows license. I thought this a great initiative from them. 
Pvital,
Its really nice when you see computers being selled without that implicit relation with M$ Windows. I am very happy to hear that.
And I am witing for you openMP review.
