Debian Linux, of course, is the best distribution :). But I really do
believe that or I wouldn't be using it.
To determine whether your hardware is supported or not you should
consult the HOWTOs. A HOWTO index is located at
http://www.linux.org/help/howto.html. Look through there until you
see the Hardware Compatibility HOWTO. Coincidentally I'm resarching
this issue myself for a R&D networking lab I'm building at work that
will use PCs/Debian as hosts. As far as I know, I don't think there
is anything on your list of hardware that will give you any trouble.
I don't think your video card is supported by the current release of
XFree86 (for X windows), but it is supported (pretty well to all
reports) by the S.u.S.E. project -- visit http://www.suse.com.
Of course any problems/questions you encounter along the way will be
answered promptly by this list's membership. Another great reason to
choose Debian.
Good luck!

Hi all,
Could you guys suggest which Linux distribution I should install on my
system. Ive been using UNIX with X11 for quite a while now, so Im looking
for the best, not something for newbies.
Also, which X windows server would go best with a Millenium 2 card?
my system is as follows,
Pentium 233MMX
ASUS TX97-E Smart Mainboard
64MB 168pin SDRAM
4.3GB Quantum ST HD
24X CDROM
Millenium II with 4MB
Viewsonic 17PS (supporting 1600x1280)
Sound Blaster AWE 64bit
US Robotics 56K x2 Sportster external
Epson 600C printer
thanks a lot
Lal D.
