Henning, While the `unstable' version of Debian, named `woody', now comes with XFree86 4.0 (which supports your GeForce), I don't imagine a newbie would be too comfortable running the unstable distribution...
By the way, can I have your equipment? A Descent monitor? Cool!! I have _got_ to see that!! ;) Regards, Alex. --- PGP/GPG Fingerprint: EFD1 AC6C 7ED5 E453 C367 AC7A B474 16E0 758D 7ED9 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/CM>CC/IT d- s:+ a16 C++(++++)>$ UL++++>$ P--- L++>++$ E+ W+(-) N+ o?
