Hi,

Have been toying with linux in various flavours for some years now.If
crossover office or wine can run Adobe products like InDesign I think
I'm ready to commit. But which distro?

>From what I read here Madrake 9.2 has huge issues with the nForce2
chipset, which is a pity as I like the look and feel of Mandrake.

Redhat 9 recognizes the 3Comm LAN port but not the NVidia one. Won't
read my NTFS partitions. Not very keen on the way it works/looks/feels
either.

SuSE claim compatibility on their site but in one box it says 'full'
and underneath (under 9.2) 'unknown' so I'm confused. Like the look
and feel of SuSE but it can be a bugger to add programs to if they
dont come on the distro disks! WineRack sounds interesting, though.

Xandros? lot of money, is it worth it? claims compatibility with the
on-board sound and the 3Comm LAN but nothing else. New version out
soon - will it be nForce ready?

As you can see, I have RTFM and STFW, but don't want to waste money on
something that won't do the job. Would appreciate help/advice.

tia Derek
