I am happy to join this forum so that I can get assistence to solve my problem. I am switching from windows xp professional to linux . I do not known which distribution as yet. I get plenty problems with windows , it is higly unstable. I have the following hardwares asus a7n8x 333fsb motherboard, chaintech geforce fx 5200 , 512ddr ram, amd athlon 2600xp
yet I get a lot of sticks or freezes. I come to realise it is not the hardware but windows -operating system . It is bogus, every minute you have to download a patch here a patch there. I am new to linux .I want to know if my hardware is compatible with the various linux distributions. Now a friend brougtht over by me knoppix -linux I put it into one of my drives , to install it , it read all my hardware then the monitor is blank. some one told me my chaintech geforce fx 5200- agp8x 128ddr vga card need drivers to show the knoppix-linux. Can you tell me what may the real problem ? I went to the chaintech site I get no help. some one please assist me? thanking you in advance.
