on the bright side I have a happy report using this hardware. Win xp cant even
do this without using a heavily modified installer that has taken me a few
months to get working.
epox 8rda3+ nforce motherboard: the installer found the chipset and also the
sound and it worked great.
ati radeon 8500: again proper drivers were installed and it was working great
but I do believe this was working well before.
sata on a silicone image controller: this worked great also installing onto a
maxtor sata 80 gig drive.
Hercules game theater xp sound card: For the first time this worked great also
and I was able to record with it using audacity.
Now in past releases some of this stuff did not work at all or not properly. I
would say all in all this is a very fine distro. 9.2 is the best one I've
seen since about 6.0 or 6.5. Not to say the others were not good but rather
to say I'm highly impressed at this time the same way 6.5 impressed me back
then for what it could do and what it included.
