Is it particularly hard to get networking gear running on a Linux box? I have an old AMD K6-2 450 system and a remarkably cheap network card which I think has a Linux driver. I'd like to use this as a standalone Linux machine having had several Linux false starts after destroying several Windows installs trying to get Red Hat 7.2 to dual boot - Windows does not like sharing it's space with other OS's rolleyes It would also seem that RH doesn't like ancient Celeron based laptops with a tiny amount of HD space freed up using PartitionMagic...

Also which distro is best for tinkering?

Appreciate any info, sorry for the thread hijack John! laugh
