I disagree with you. I specifically, as newbie, choose the nVidida
based cards because they were listed as supported and I already had
one under windoze, an 8 MB TNT Riva, but soon upgraded to an TNT2
and _HAVE NOT_, repeat _HAVENOT_, had any trouble and I don't do
gaming.

Well Tosi I disagree:
I administer four machines
Basically, you and the others who have had success with this card are either computer professionals or Linux users with considerable experience. Your Linux newcomer is not going to go through all those hassles. They will just return the distro. They are not going to switch from KDM to GDM or try to figure out why the box hangs on logout. They want to do an install and have it run right. As a matter of fact a woman wrote in here about three months ago having terrific problems with her Dell Inspiron and as far as I can tell she had to return it because she could not get the nVIDIA card to be detected. That's my reason for disliking the nVIDIA. It's great for UNIX adepts whose principal GUI time is spent using Quake or BZflag but it's a real pain for a newcomer who wants a functioning desktop. -- Cheers,
