Hi mika, we have just got a new computer to be our unix server ( 
linux ofcurse ) - the computer is 486dx100 with 1gb e-ide disk

It works very fast and upto now - no problems, soon our server 
will become live in the net (kineret).

I guess there are many computer's stores in jerusalem but in our 
day many people buy there computers via mail order - I can sujest 
you to look for prices in the big companies in T"A and compare 
them to Jeruales, if the price ranges are not so high get the 
computer from Jerusalem to get close service when and if the 
computer falls down.
