Hi Quentin :) poo, knocking on wood. It was, resp. is still a hard way to get my hardware running with Linux. What graphic card I have to buy seems to be relative clear. I need a SATA hard disc. Linux must be fine with my IDE hard disc, IDE DVD device and this SATA. There are many low-cost SATA hard discs. Is there anything I should take care of, if I will use this three devices together and the SATA, among other things, should be used for hd recording? Cheers, Ralf
