G'day everyone

I have a
TBIRD 800
ABIT K7T raid 100
LeadTek Geforce 2 MX

I had sometroubles with installing linux
Does anyone else has a close system to me.
How does the VIA Chipset goes under linux without the 4in1 drivers?
What distro would be good for my system
RedHat 7
SuSE 7
Mandrake 7.2
I want a desktop Linux to play Q3 Q2 UT

Thanks

VIA chipset should be fine...

I'm thinking either your harddrive and graphcis card would be a slight problem. You see, the GeForce, it is supported, but you need to do some work to make it work. Also, if you could be more specific about your problem, we might be able to help better...

But yeah, harddrives (such as scsi and ata-66/ata-100) have issues that need to be worked around... your graphics card is another issue, but much easier to deal with once linux is up and running.

I use mandrake 7.2, which is the only version I have got running. I would try them first.
