Hello guys,
I want to create a second PC running Debian, but there are a few things i need it to do.
Is it in any way possible to do the following:
-Gaming (using an fx8350 and 7970 matrix)
-Streaming (goal is for android phones to connect trough UPnP or something and be able to listen to my music)
-Be able to run 24/7 without any probs
Thanks in advance.
Debian is generally considered the most stable of all distros so running 24/7 is no issue. However because of this stability you have to give up on some bleeding edge software features and hardware support.
Your fx series processor won't pose any issues and your 7970 will need the AMD proprietary driver installing to do gaming, but that isn't hard to accomplish.
There are a few different ways to get UPnP working, I would consider Google'ing a decent guide on that setup.
