In general, the Matrox cards come highly recommended (although I've never owned one). I've had an old NVidia based card (TNT2 era) that worked fine under RedHat 7.2, but you only got 3D accelearation if you used NVidia's closed source drivers. That's why I switched to the ATI card once XFree86 4.2 came out. I doubt you can still find an old TNT2 card at Best Buy, etc. Here's the Matrox cards (you may be able to find them at Best Buy). http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/genpage2.cgi?pagename=hcl&view=allhardware&vendor=27&class=10#list It also looks like the ATI All-in-Wonder cards work with RedHat 7.2 amd you can probably find one of those at Best Buy. http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/genpage2.cgi?pagename=details&hid=2850 Good luck.
