Couple of thing kinda things: 1. I have a Smart And Friendly 4X4X24X CD-RW (SCSI), which works well with cdrdao and with cdrecord and the generic SCSI CD-R drivers. 2. Don't get a Sis (Sys? No, I'm fairly sure it's SiS) chipset video card. I got one (an AGP one), because I didn't need any great shakes for video, and when I tried to install any linux or run stuff, the system seemed to lock up randomly. ... Gene and Kirk may remember my Debian trials in May. ... Anyway, go for a Matrox card--I've seen 8MB video cards for fairly inexpensive prices on the net. or ati. Or s3. ... But stay far away from SiS.
