on the soundcard note, if you want to get sound working and not have to
buy a commercial sound driver (such as OSS), I suggest the following:

download the OSS evaluation package and install it
invoke the configuration utility, if I remember correctly it will pprobe
your card first and display the currently set values
make a note of these values, and recompile your kernel accordingly

while this may or may not work for everyone, I have never had this method
fail for me (except one instance involving an un-happy PnP card ;)).
I hope this will help some of you get sound working under linux, how else
are you supposed to play mp3's and enjoy quake to its fullest ;P
