Will I be able to use Linux on my system?

[AMDPwred]

Does anyone know if any of my hardware isn't supported by Mandrake Linux? Specs are here.

you might have some problems w/ your soundcard/ video card.. ^^~

Video card shouldnt be too bad... But Im not positive (check Xfree86.org). No clue about the soundcard though.

Check their Supported Hardware page:
Linux Mandrake - Hardware Support!!

I've seen a frech linux support forum where they state that the sound card is supported under linux:
here a translated cut&paste 🙂 :


<<
This card work perfectly, its works with ALSA (0.9beta4) as well as with the OSS module (kernel: 2.4.6 or newer).

Card has a C-Media 8730 chip:
module ALSA : snd-card-cmipci
module OSS : cmpci
