One-off junk, IMO, that works poorly with any OS. > I'm amazed to hear you write that. I was delighted to find that my Ubuntu can run nicely on my other computer and use the NVidia video to run even a "widescreen" monitor. I had resolved that for the next computer I buy, I would also get an NVidia video system, to "support" them back for supporting Linux, and to make sure I could run Linux on it. Was I wrong? What brands do people prefer for Linux? I want my next computer to be able to play full-HD movies through an HDMI cable with mplayer to a widescreen TV :-) -- Andy -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
