TigerPixel.DE proudly presents his new Linux computer named Auriga as the constellation of the same name. It runs Debian GNU/Linux 8.11"jessie" .
The computer name says it all. It is my home office computer for Web development, software development, and office work in general.
Because of serious performance issues watching YouTube videos the previous computer named Sculptor Sculptor has already been superseded after two years of use.
A point of interest is the energy efficiency in comparison to my previous computers running the Debian GNU/Linux operating system:
