Hi all,
I am about to open my wallet for an ASUS P5ND2-SLI Deluxe nForce4 Chipset w/ P4 3.0 GHz 2MB L2 and 1 GIG RAM. I don't expect to capture the major capability of this board with Linux, but WIN XP will use it to good gain. Any issues re: XP and SuSE on different hard disks?
Well, the only thing I can think of - One disc will have viruses and possibly an infected MBR. The other one will be fine. You can make up your mind there.
In '85 I did some Xenix
Ack! Microsoft Unix! SCO! Ewwwww...
with Informix SQL (multi-user) stuff on Altos hardware (OE/AR/Inventory) and then in '94 used SCO Open Desktop Unix with Informix SQL (again, multi-user, same tasks) on PC hardware. The docs were *extremely good* or I wouldn't have made the grade.
I used to support a similar system on Xenix 386 - I can't remember the name, but it was a work order dispatch / AR / OE / IC system as well.
For this board: ASUS P5ND2-SLI Deluxe nForce4 Chipset w/ P4 3.0 GHz 2MB L2 and 1 GIG RAM 1. Can SuSE find the onboard SOUND?
Only if you boot the computer into SuSE. I've yet to find an instance (9.1 - 10.0 ) of SuSE not figuring out onboard sound.
2. Can SuSE find (ONE) NVIDIA 256MB PCI EXPRESS 16X card with second card position empty?
Huh?
3. Can Suse use either or both of the (TWO) onboard 10/100/1000 ports?
There's two onboard ports? Interesting. Well, I can't comment much instead to say that Linux - unlike Windows - is built with Networking in mind. Hence you should have no issues. I remember setting up RedHat 4.? with two PCI NICs and thinking how cool and easy it was.
Now, after only a sprinkling over a 20 year period, and despite that I may be senior-senile (most of the time), I plan to use MySQL on a separate SATA150 80GB hard disk.
That's not a good thing. You'll run into bad karma and may even have a sleeping dragon wake to steal your golden harp.
I would be very pleased to get some feedback, so I don't place to large a bet on a bad odds thing. Please steer me to another list if there's one more appropriate to partially informed newbie.
From one partially informed newbie to another...

Is there a better mobo choice for a Linux Box? I don't need the ASUS P5ND2 graphics capability even in the WIN XP apps I will use.
Windows XP - Never had it. Never will.
Best regards and nice to meet all,
Welcome and enjoy your upgrade from WinXP to Linux. -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
