please?
Here's the deal - I don't care how packages are handled. I would PREFER but NOT REQUIRE a source based distro. My main concern is hardware support... as in, OUT OF THE BOX WORKING. I don't care if i have to go back and update some of the drivers for 3d or whatever, but i don't want to have X crashing on me immediately or whatnot.
Here's my specs:
Chaintech Zenith 7NJS (nforce 2)
AMD Barton 2500 (well, at 3200, but shh....)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
512 MB RAM
4x IDE drives
1x SATA drive
1x DVD-ROM
1x CD-RW
That's about it, really, what's important anyway.
I have had good experience with Mandrake in the past, but their support for ATI has blown chunks in the past - don't know if that's changed or not yet tho.
Any thoughts?
