Hey all you AMD / Linux freaks!Advie Wanted!

[ForceTen]

All,

Given that I have "learnt" about enough with my second Intel O/C experiance, I have decided to pursue the "other side of the street", as it were. I am considering building a new AMD box, and using Linux as the OS. How can one resit the AMD prices (and alot of rave reviews)?!?! I am looking for recommendations. I have an older TNT2 ultra vid card that I will use (in the effort to save $$ - and I understand that there are some Linux driver issues with vid cards. I figure that the TNT2 has been around awhile, so it should have adequate driver support.

Having said all of that, give me your comments!

What distro of Linux are you planning on installing? Nvidia & Mandrake 7.1 can be a pain in the *** to setup.

Haven't done enough research on the OS end yet to decide. Looking hard for reccommends / commentary there. Thanks!
