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.
