Re: supported hardware
Hi James, IMHO your best bet would be a serial-port (RS232) external modem, the majority of internal modems are winmodems so probably won't work. If you definately need an internal one I have had success with the Hayes/Zoom V.92 modems (Lucent chipset), not sure if they are available where you are. Also the Intel HAM modems have linux drivers available but I have not been able to get them to work yet. Can't say much about USB modems never (and probably won't in the near future) tried them. Check out www.linmodems.org, this was where I found the info about the Hayes modem (the drivers I used were not official ones). Usually if you end up buying a modem you will probably be able to do a search for the Device Ids (usually looks something like 11c1:0462) of your modem. Hope this info helps.

The problem is to find the right ones which are supported / recommended for use with debian linux 2.2. You can write suggestions in english or german to [EMAIL PROTECTED] depends on your needs. for hardcore desktop stuff i can't reccomend the Matrox G400 any higher. im shocked on how stable and fast it is. my machine at the office(on it now) has been up for 172 days and only restarted last to move to a new office. i used to have to restart X twice a month because it would have a pretty bad memory leak which would make X real slow after about 150 apps open(~120MB X memory usage) X 4.1 has improved a lot, my X memory usage is ~200MB and i don't see slowdown yet. i upgraded from potato to woody about 6 weeks ago on this system, no problems yet. potato ran rock solid on it as well. you can see what i mean by intensive desktop use by a look at a screenshot: http://mars.aphroland.org/pics/x-desktop-11-05-2001.jpg if you want games you probably want to go for an nvidia card of some sort. but be aware to play games you'll need their kernel driver which may cause problems(i haven't had any serious problems on my nvidia at home yet). i don't have a dvd and will never get one so i can't reccomend any. soundcard my favorite is soundblaster pci 128($30). the OSS drivers in the kernel work perfectly(2.2 kernel) ive never had a problem. network card either eepro100 or 3com 3c905B/C-TX are my choice cards. good luck ...! nate

Re: supported hardware
Dear sir, I just bought two distributions of Linux ( SuSe and Redhat) they bought don't support my hardware. I would like to check if debian can help me out. If so I will be happy to download the distribution or buy it from a reseller. Distribution is somewhat irrelevant in this question. Though I certainly would recommend Debian. VideoCard is a Diamon Fire GL 1000 PRO ( permedia 2 chipset) on agp Mouse is a intellimouse ( on PS/2) CD-rom is atapi HD is a WDC caviar on extended IDE ALL of your hardware is perfectly compatible with Linux and also with X. First make it all work in vt100-like mode (no X just ascii terminal). I like basic installation (about 25Mb) in Debian 2.0. After that start to setup X. Your X server is relatively new ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/Servers/X3DL. tgz thanks Frits Bonte [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

However the hardware you list is all supported. The Diamond Fire GL 1000 PRO is supported under X by the XF86_3DLabs Xfree86 server. I don't think this server driver is in the X packages v3.3.2.3 that are currently available with any of Debian's distributions(stable, frozen, unstable). But you can download the XF86_3DLabs binary from the ftp.xfree86.org and use it until Debian's X packages are upgraded to v3.3.3(after Debian 2.1 is released), the detail of this can be found at, http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9812/msg03370.html.
