I am hoping to get to grips with Linux by using an Evesham Pentium Pro 200 PC.

I have pinched the Video card to drive a second monitor on my W98 PC so have to buy a new card. Mainly for business applications but I might play the occasional game. Any suggestions for a Linux supported card please? Also any suggestions for a basic sound card and 10BaseT network card.

I have Red Hat 5.2. --

I have a Voodoo 3 3000 which works very well, you can get ROM'd version of the server from a link at www.3dfx.com. As a bonus it comes with Unreal as well :-) For sound I am using a Sound Blaster AWE64, but any of the Creative ones will work under Linux. As for network card, I am just using a £20 PCI thing I got in Maplins which seems ok, except it gets miffed if something else has the same IRQ. My other 2 PC's have Bay Networks Netgear cards which seem to work quite well. BTW I am currently using Mandrake Linux 6.0 (Redhat 6.0 with knobs on) which seems to work very well. It's running a little masquerading gateway so I can share my modem with my 2 windows PC's. Hope that helps. -- Chris *************************************************************************** E Mail Chris@glovercc.freeserve.co,uk WWW http://www.glovercc.freeserve.co.uk ICQ 18054759 Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. -Anon [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver@stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]
