I only have one off topic suggestion ...... have fun =o) theres a ton of
cool things out there to try or implement/refine and perfect ... try em all
..... when you get curious or daring enough, play with some source code (C
C++ Perl Python) whatever .. even if you dont know how to code, or leave
everything the way it is .... the cool thing is Linux is the ultimate
playground for anyone who wants to actually "use" a computer rather than
have an operating system "guide" the user. The learning curve for the
operating system *core* looks more like a vertical wall than a curve ...
thing is there are a LOT of hands sticking out willing to help if you want
them to. If you're careful about steps you take (recovery disks, backups
etc) and you ask for help ... .the climb is a rush.
Ok enough .... on topic advice for video cards .... I believe another
poster mentioned the best advice. Choose something that suits what you
want to use it for and what resources you already have (Monitor
limitations, is this for gaming and playing with OpenGL stuff, do you just
need X running etc) I personally am a fan of Loki and support their
porting efforts by purchasing their games ported to Linux so I like hitting
high frame rates with full effects on and GeForce and a nice 17" .24
monitor do this for me. It al ldepends on what you want =o)
