Tests in PC Professionell (German edition of PC Magazine) convinced me that the best graphics card for my machine would be the Diamond Stealth VRAM. AND NOW I CAN NOT INSTALL LINUX BECAUSE OF THIS GRAPHICS CARD !!! Does *your* company or anybody else out there offer or know of a Linux version that will fully support Diamond cards? The PC is running fine with it, and I don't want to buy a new card (would be wiser to buy a new PC then right away), but I'd love to have UNIX at home ... (COHERENT didn't even install on this machine; it never told me why and neither did Mark Williams) Any suggestions ? Chris Please reply here or to ozdoba@insel.unibe.ch Thanks !
