I have a background with rh and slack. Am a programmer and prefer the command line. A long-term debian user persuaded me to try ubuntu when I showed an interest in debian. To make a long story short, I've ended up with the kubuntu 7.04, because earlier (and presumably more stable) ubuntu distros didn't recognize my nic card. Below is a dump from lspci. I would welcome comments as to whether the stable debian distribution will recognize these devices. ## --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 LPC Bridge (rev a2) 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation MCP61 SMBus (rev a2) 00:01.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Memory Controller (rev a2) 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP61 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP61 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI bridge (rev a1) 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP61 IDE (rev a2) 00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP61 SATA Controller (rev a2) 00:08.1 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP61 SATA Controller (rev a2) 00:09.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI Express bridge (rev a2) 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI Express bridge (rev a2) 00:0c.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI Express bridge (rev a2) 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 6100 nForce 430 (rev a2) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 4353 (rev 14) ## --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm entertaining re-installing with deb if it won't be too much trouble, I'd welcome advice on other diagnostics to provide to make this decision. Ubuntu is "sold" on ease of install, but I'd rather spend some more time installing for a stabler platform. thanks tim -- Tim Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Palmer, Alaska, USA
