I am going to begin building my own system for Linux when school gets out (June 5). After looking in the Linux FAQ's and install instructions I have some questions about the (Pentium) mainboard and other components that I wish to buy.
1. Does anyone else have a motherboard baised on a VIA Apollo 3 AGP chipset with 1Mb cache RAM? Or do I need a Intel 430TX type for absolute reliability/compatability? I'm looking at Biostar, DFI, and FIC brands. 2. Does X-Windows have support for the newer AGP video cards, specificly the Trident 9750 AGP video card? 3. Will generic ethernet cards ($25 PCI 10Mbit/sec) run well enough to allow me to hook-up my Linux computer to a Win-95 (my parents) so I can have access to the internet through it? This would be initially so I can install Linux directly from the internet and later for internet access. Thanks for your help.
