Hell, I mean, all ne2k-pci that I had worked really well.
They were based on realtek chipsets.
BUT is your ethernet card a 100Mbps, RTL8139 one ?
That one gave me real pain.

And if we come to talk about network cards,
avoid like hell the chipset realtek 8139, especially if you have a K7/VIA based
motherboard.
avoid like hell DFE-530TX, only if you have a K7/VIA confguration.

Yup. My USR 56K external is recognized as P'n'P by Windoze if it's on
when I boot into that OS (sic).

If you already have an internal modem you can use it,
but if you were buying one get an external one. This
is not really that big of an issue. I was assuming
that you were building the box from scratch. One
reason to avoid internal modems is because they are a
heat source and they will increase the
The Voodoo 3 is worth being mentioned here. It has very good 3D support in X
and they are really cheap nowadays.

external, and make sure that is isn't a winmodem.

The big question that you don't talk about is how much are you willing to spend
and what flavor of Debian (stable, testing, etc) are you going to be running.
The answer to this question would vary quite a bit based on that for example if
money is not object and you want to run testing. Then whate
Here is my two cents worth.
For a Video card I have the Matrox Millenium G200
with 8MB of Mem. I have used this card with Slcakware,
Mandrake and Debian. It was setup perfect on
installation with Debian 2.2r.2. www.pricewatch.com
has them for $49 plus $10 shipping.

Well it really depends what you use it for.
Personally, the best price/performance graphics card for Linux is the Geforce

Modem: Go with external. You can rest assured they are not WinModems and will
work under Linux. My USRobotics 56k external
modem worked great up until I got DSL. :)
Sound Card: I've only used a Creative AWE64 Gold card. It has worked almost
flawlessly using the Sound Blaster driver.
