Debian on Dell?
Can anybody verify that Debian runs on a Dell Precision 420?
It has an integrated dual-channel (Ultra 160 & Ultra Wide) SCSI controller.
Does Debian support it?
There are several video cards to choose from:
Diamond Viper V770D, 32 MB
Elsa Synergy Force
nVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS, 32MB DDR
Matrox G400 Max, 32 MB (dual monitor capable)
Gloria II Pro, AGP Pro 4x, 64 MB
Does Debian support any or all of them? I intend to do rather basic X stuff
on Linux & common PC-ish stuff on NT/Win2000. Any recommendation on which
video cards to prefer or avoid?
More fundamentally, is there a better Dell system to use for Linux &
NT/Win2000 in a home sort of context?
All pertinent advice will be appreciated.
