Here's Thunderbird and firefox, or at least the first ones I ran across in a search... http://dag.wieers.com/packages/thunderbird/ http://dag.wieers.com/packages/firefox/ I don't know much about RPM distros... as far as packages and such. I've ony been on RH or FC for a total of about 10 hours. Tried Mandrake 9.1 - 9.2 for a couple months. Had SUSE for several months... I don't know if you can count them. I take it nobody has precompiled drivers for Core 2 yet? Bummer. I've only run into that a couple time running deb based PC's... it's a beach when it happens. Gintoo looks like fun, compiles everything from source, so it's less of an issue once you're used to the wait time. I had a machine to play with but ended up putting Mepis on it for my cousin. But I digress... here's what I found thru www.google.com/linux (the only SE for linux related stuff [;)]) ATI says your drivers are here: http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/ I also found this on Google: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2003-October/msg00862.html check here for your wifi driver: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/41/2004/10/2/236045 Is this any help on the firewire? https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-January/msg07790.html I only had a couple minutes to zip around the search pages. Do you have a favorite 'nix forum yet? If not I can recommend a couple. Posting is always the fastest way. If you find a good forum you can usually get a fix quickly. I had to reconfig my display drivers when I first installed Linspire (it was Lindows at the time). I was kinda miffed that a debian distro wouldn't have updated nvidia display drivers... anyway, it turned out I just had an old disk image and two short lines of code in the shell fixed it up. Never would have figured it out on my own without the Linspire forum... well, maybe but it would have taken a long time... The fix is probably just as easy for FC2. If there aren't precompiled RPM yet for FC2 you'll need to get ahold of some source files and compile them yourself. Anybody else I'd feel bad for... I get the feeling you might have fun compiling your own drivers. Give it a shot if you haven't done it before. [sm=boogie.gif]

Cheers Bobby I'll have to use ndiswrapper for now to get the USB adapter working, till I can compile my own Linux Drivers for it...should be fun. I'll let you know how I get on with the rest[;)]

quote: ...should be fun. If you've never done it before it's kinda fun... When I recompiled my first Linux kernel I just sat at the monitor and watched the messages pop up and roll by... then follow the next instruction. It was really interesting to see, even though most of it made very little sense to me... Running through the process does tend to give you a little insight into the "inner workings" that proprietary OS's prefer you don't see... Same for software. Compiling it is kind of fun... I'm still looking forward to playing with Gentoo... :)
