Hello This is question that I couldn't find the answer to on either the Linux or Debian web site. I've also been considering FreeBSD, but I couldn't find the answer on their web site either.
I am finally aproaching the day when I will replace the ancient piece of junk which I am currently using. As I do not have a large amount of money to put into a computer, I have been looking at some less expensive systems. The top contender so far in terms of price/value is one that has video, sound and a modem on the motherboard. How do I find out if Linux will run (and recognise the video chipset) on this type of motherboard? Would Linux distinguish between this type of motherboard, and a "standard" motherboard? If not, would Linux treat the video chipset as just another video "card?" What kind of video card? I don't even know if I need to worry about this, or if I'm asking the right questions. Any answers you can give would be greatly appreciated.
