Multiple computers

Have I mentioned in any of my posts that backups are essential? They are. Always backup your system on a regular basis. I have posted that I have multiple computers. Another reason that having multiple computers is good, if you are me anyway, is that 1 of them should always work. Today for example I am using my Mac mini. I had been planning on testing the latest Slackware distribution this weekend. Somewhere in the process of installing a third hard drive my main tower decided that it needed some time off. It is now sitting under my bench taking a well deserved rest. I have been planning a motherboard and processor upgrade. Looks like I will have to move that up on the calender. I'm not sure if I have a motherboard issue or a power supply issue. I am leaning toward the motherboard. I have been experiencing some problems with it.
