Linux hardware suggestions needed

[danzig]

Hello - I am currently using Linux for Windows by Mandrakesoft and I am having some trouble with Linux recognizing my sound card and modem . I have started work on another pc that I would like to install Linux on to learn with .I would like some suggestions for sound cards , video cards ,and modems that work well with Linux (i.e. I do not have to load drivers for) . I have an extra 3 Com nic that I know is recognized off the bat .
Thanks in advance - Danzig 😉

Video card - expecting that you do not want something big, good & expensive, go for 4-8M ATI cards.
Sound card - SB PCI64, SB PCI128, ISA SB cards
Modems - any external

Sound blaster Live works great in RH 7.x

VC = Voodoo3 3000
SC = AWE64
MoBo = Any BX or MVP3 chipset
Modem = ISA PnP w/jumpers.
RAM = 96MB -128MB

danzig,
If you need an internal PCI modem, the Actiontec Call Waiting modem works just fine.
