yet another hardware compatibility question

Does anybody here have a "working" experience with ATI Radeon-based video cards? I know there's a radeon module in X, but there's hardly any documentation to indicate the quality or status of the module in question. I'm not a frag freak. The only feature I'm interested in is its Xvideo support.

Installing grub directly to a file

I want to burn grub, along with a kernel, onto a cdrom. My present system has been to install grub to a floppy, make changes to that floppy, and finally "dd" the floppy to a file, which I then set as the boot image in cdrecord. Is there a way to install grub direct to a floppy image file produc

I'm looking for a shell emulation program that has tabs (like the one you see in galeon or gedit). The one I'm presently using, powershell, does have tabs (which I found, thanks to apt-cache search). But I have some issues with it ;-). Now are there any other gnome- or gtk-based shell emulator
