Dear People, I am writing to ask whether anyone has any Linux experience with something similar to the two desktop machines described at
(http://www.unc.edu/cci/index/ccishop/departmental.html) See http://www.unc.edu/cci/index/ccishop/fullconfiguration.html for more detail. Our department (UNC-CH) is thinking of purchasing a machine for use with Debian. Specifically, potential problems seem to be with a) NIC b) Video card. >From the descriptions given, I'm not sure what to make of "Integrated 10/100/1000 MB ENET" or "Integrated 10/100100 MB ENET". (I'm guessing the latter was a typo and should be the same as the former). Does anyone have any idea about this? As for the video card, it would also be useful to have more information. The web page says "Intel Extreme Graphics 32MB" and "Open AGP slot NVIDIA QUADRO-4 64mb" respectively. As far as the former goes, http://www.intel.com/solutions/index.htm?iid=Corporate+Header_Solutions seems to be relevant. However, it seems to be a binary X module + needs kernel support. As far as the latter goes, I think Nvidia also has binary drivers. I don't think the nv driver in X supports this card. Am I correct? I see that Debian packages the nvidia driver, and the description explicitly mentions the Quadro chipset. I used these drivers once and they worked OK, but does anyone have any direct experience with the Quadro chipset, specifically how it works with recent 2.4 kernels? Also, has anyone any experience of using this with a flat-panel display? Thanks in advance. Faheem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
