    Well, I have a fairly recent computer, and have some problems in
    installing Linux. I've tried Knoppix 2, Red Hat Linux 8.0 and Suse 6.4
    Knoppix 2 : I can't start Knoppix (purchased CD)
    Red Hat 8.0: Install doesn't start up (maybe it's the CD, free CD with
    magazine)
    Suse 6.4 : installs fine, then it complains it can't find an
    AT-keyboard.

    Which distribution will support my system? (Please keep in mind, I'm a
    Linux-newbie.)
    System
    -------
    AthlonXP2600+
    512 MB DDR-RAM
    Asrock K7S8X Motherboard
    XFX Graphics card (GE Force FX5200 equivalent)
    HDD: 120GB/2MB cache
    DVD-Player
    CD-RW drive
    Iiyama 19" CRT
    Canon i560
    Pinnacle PCTV Rave-card
