I have been using a A7N8X Deluxe with Debian for about a month now and have been extremely happy with it. One thing to remember is to boot with "noapic nolapic" kernel parameters. Do some googling if you want to know more. I have been using the forcedeth driver for a week now and nothing has broken yet, 3com nic works as expected, and onboard sound is great. I haven't even tried any 2.4 kernels but I am pretty sure it isn't a problem. I too have been using the nvidia video drivers since they first came out and I would not hesitate to recommend virtually any nvidia graphics card for use with linux. It may be binary-only drivers, but that is pretty much what you have to live with to get GLX accelerated graphics. -- Josh McKinney | Webmaster: http://joshandangie.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | They that can give up essential liberty Linux, the choice -o) | to obtain a little temporary safety deserve of the GNU generation /\ | neither liberty or safety. _\_v | -Benjamin Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
