After this point you may well be asked how many colors ( colours) you would like to display at any one time on the computer monitor screen.  Its a trade off – the higher the more resolution of visual appearance , wheras on the other hand the demands on your system and computer system response time will be decreased.  Its a trade-off to your needs and the needs of your various software programs , internet dial up vs broadband speeds and indeed in the end what really makes a difference for your computing and internet needs.

While it can be said that the more and the higher the resolution that you display overall – the better generally – however you are in the end limited by the size of your video memory.  You may have an integrated, ( that is built in on the computer motherboard) video card so by pushing up your system you are taking system ram and resources from your main system.  If you have an add on video card – whether it as an older PCI card , in a throw away computer system that you are using to set up a Linux system ,  a somewhat newer or similar vintage AGP video card setup or even the newest standard PCI express video card.

Just as you do not have to be a mechanic to drive a car, but it will help you if you have a basic understanding of the components  and parts of a car , their use and description and basic automotive diagnostic skills,  it sure comes in handy if you have a basic and simple comprehension of these.  This way if problems occur you are a better situation to get things going and fix themselves or at the worst be able to explain them to others more experienced and adroit in the field in order to solve the problem and get your  Linux based computer system up and running and as well perform basic maintenance and updates.

In the case of Linux and your career with the Linux operating system it may well be true that you are setting up a computer system simply to learn Linux and become proficient in the Linux operating system and it operations and functions.

Generally it can be said that to run fairly simple , standard word processing and spread sheet application software your requirements may be almost minimal with today’s powerful computers with the new high end core duo CPUs and ddr2 ram.  Still your package may be more minimal – an older system that someone recently upgraded from.

On the other side of the fence if you are doing serious number crunching – 3d graphic applications , the latest games or calculating ballistic missile trajectories you will need greater amounts of computer hardware support than a simple , older Pentium or Pentium 2 computer.

If your needs are slight then you can even find stripped down versions of Linux can run only a single 1.4  mb floppy disk.
