[Nelug] Hello

[Lucifer]

you can try this:
http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html?cboOS=LinuxXF
ree86&cboProducts=RADEON+9500+PRO&eula=&choice=agree&cmdNext=Next
but in general, ATI linux support is nothing to write home about, far
worse than nvidia.
I like slackware myself, it just works :-)

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Linux, and want to try it, since it does appear to have alot
going for it, and fun factor built in with the open source bit as well.

I know this is a big question, but which version do you recommend?

With some assistance from books, and I'm sure, yourselves, I could try
one of the freebee ones, but maybe it would be better to buy a package.
Any ideas?

I do need to have Internet access, and know that I can obtain drivers
for  the PCI fitted Diamond Supra modem, which has a Connexant HCF
chipset, as a "Linmodem".

I also have a Sapphire (ATI clone) Radeon 9500 Graphics card, which I
also believe does now have drivers available.

So really at this stage, any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance

Nick Paton
