As far as I know, I don't think there=20 is anything on your list of hardware that will give you any trouble. =20 I don't think your video card is supported by the current release of=20 XFree86 (for X windows), but it is supported (pretty well to all=20 reports) by the S.u.S.E. project -- visit http://www.suse.com>. =20 Of course any problems/questions you encounter along the way will be=20 answered promptly by this list's membership. Another great reason to=20 choose Debian. =20 Good luck! ______________________________ Reply Separator ______________________________= ___ Subject: Which Linux distribution???
