    Question about Linux

    It probably sounds domb, but is it ok to run Linux on nF2 chip set? Looks like Windows XP runs ok.

    Its acctually supprisingly good on linux, stable and has decent drivers for it.
    RPM installation takes 2 seconds and your up and running
    Just make sure you get them off a machine with net access, as no linux distro at the moment has support for the nvidia LAN controler

    Its a pity most linux drivers are developed well after their windows counterparts come out How many installation CD's have you got recently with hardware that has linux drivers on it?

    I've got an nf2 based machine running Gentoo and it's rock solid stable. As soon as I learn to use the Gimp it'll be goodbye windows for me. I like it that much!
