I'm about to install SuSe 7.1 and I could use some advice.
Here's my system:
P3-700 @ 933 MHz
512 Mb RAM
Radeon 64 DDR Vivo
SB Live! Value (OEM)
Dlink 530TX NIC
Com21 Docsys (sp?) cable modem
My hard drives are currently config'd/formatted like this (by Patition Magic v 6):
Disk 1 (20 G Maxtor), partition sizes approximate
Partition 1 FAT32 (Win Me) ~10 G
Partition 2 FAT32 (Files) ~5 G
Partition 3 ext2 ~4 G
Partition 4 linux swap ~120 M
Disk 2 (13 G IBM)
Partiion 1 not formatted ~2 M
Partition 2 NFTS (Win2k) ~13 G
Disk 3 (3.2 G Quantum)
Partition 1 FAT32 (Downloads) ~3.2 G
I think I'm ready to drop Linux in. (I realize the hubris of that statement.) Is there anything I should pay particular attention to? Advice on setting up the Radeon?, SB live?, NIC? I'm a major Linux newbie (read some stuff on the web, but this is my first try), so any advice would be welcome. Also, what router would you recommend for Linux compatibility?
