there are floppy-linux versions (i.e. toms/rb: http://www.toms.net/rb/). They are quite old, but maybe they can be used to see if your mainboard works with linux. As an alternative, try http://www.linuxhardware.net > Ati Rage Fury Pro graphics card; so can expect problems with X? ATI actively supports Xfree86-development by publishing the specifications (and developing drivers, I believe). So you can count on good drivers (especially 3d-accelerated) for your card. I know ATI Rage is supported, but I think ..Pro might not yet be. (make sure you get at least xfree86 3.3.6 or 4.0.1) Check the newsgroup comp.os.linux.x: there are many postings concerning this. Try looking on the ATI homepage or in the Xfree86 4.x-documentation on http://www.xfree86.org. -- Felix Natter
